March 10, 2006

KNIGHT (NEE GYORI) Bonnietta Jean Our dear Bonnie passed on March 6, 2006 after a lengthy struggle with cancer which she faced with incredible courage and dignity. Bonnie was born in Red Deer, Alberta on December 3, 1947 and lived her childhood on the Gyori farm west of Bentley. She received her RN from the University of Alberta Hospital and thereafter moved to Ontario where she met and married Jim Knight. Bonnie left her career as a cardiac nurse to raise her two wonderful children. She was an avid reader, enjoyed nature and her gardens gave her the greatest pleasure. Bonnie loved her large family and was so happy when she and Jim relocated to Calgary in 1992. Bonnie was predeceased by her Mother, Irma Gyori in June 2002. She is survived by her Father, Thomas Gyori, her Son, Thomas and Connie and Granddaughters, Aurora and Fauna, her Daughter, Whitney, Jim Knight, and her siblings, Paul and Deb Gyori, Judith and Dean Park, Philip and Deb Gyori, Dan Gyori, Alberta Bassetto, Tim and LeeAnn Gyori, Ross and Aleatha Gyori and Lorne and Angela Gyori. Bonnie will be missed by her wonderful family of Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and her many friends. The Family wishes to thank Dr. Karen Valentine and the many health care workers who enabled Bonnie to live at home during her illness.
