Bonnie (Woolace) Ferguson

Bonita Kay Ferguson (1946-2026).

It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of Bonnie Ferguson, 79, of Fremont, Indiana- Clear Lake, who passed away in the comfort of her home, surrounded by family, from pancreatic cancer on January 19, 2026. 

Bonnie attended high school in Stryker, Ohio and nursing school. She worked as a nurse at the Community Hospital of Williams County, Williams County Health Department, and Edon Northwest Local Schools. 

Bonnie loved visiting Clear Lake since 1946 and later living there with her family. She said her favorite things about life were being a mother and a nurse. She welcomed everyone into their home with open arms while offering food and goodies for all! At the lake she enjoyed water skiing, in her younger years, and more recently kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, swimming, walking, and driving the speed boat for her daughter and grandchildren. Bonnie filled her retirement days attending school and sporting events for her grandchildren, consistently connecting with many of her friends in person and via phone, and participating in multiple Church activities. She could also be found spending hours in her beloved flower bed and garden. 

Bonnie was preceded in death by Ethel Woolace (mother), Olin Woolace (father), Daniel Ferguson (son), Vicky Woolace (sister-in-law), and John Fortmeyer (grandson) and is survived by Theodore Ferguson (husband), William Woolace (brother), Timothy and Margaret Ferguson (son), Matthew and Amelia Ferguson (son), Joseph and Tegan Ferguson (son), Jennifer Ferguson (daughter) and Carly Rosswurm, 9 grandchildren- Eric, Kathryn, Christopher, Elizabeth, Rachel, Isabel, Nathaniel, Bennett, and Marcey, and 3 great grandchildren- Audrey, Cohen and Charlotte.
