Bonnie Olive York (née Cantwell), 91, passed away at her home outside of Parkersburg, IL early on July 4th, 2025. Bonnie was born on November 11, 1933, in Sumner, IL to Irene (Weaver) and Glen Cantwell. On September 20, 1949, she married Joseph L. York in Robinson, IL. They spent 67 years together until his passing in 2017.

Funeral Services will be held on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, at 6:00 PM the First Christian Church in West Salem, Illinois with a visitation for family and friends starting at 4:00 PM until service time.  Burial will be held on Thursday, July 10, 2025 at Chapel Lawn Memorial Gardens in Crown Point, Indiana.  Arrangements are entrusted to Meyer Funeral Home in Olney, Illinois.  The obituary can be viewed, and condolences left at www.meyerfh.com.

Bonnie is survived by her 5 children: Ronald (Marcia) York of Griffith, IN, Donald York of West Salem, IL, Twyla (Michael) Walter of Columbia, TN, Arlene (Joseph) Anweiler of Gary, IN, Richard (Diane) York of West Salem, IL, 9 grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren, and 2 great-great grandchildren. She was the last living member of her immediate family.

Joe and Bonnie were Saved in 1953 and spent the rest of their lives serving The Lord. They worked in churches across Indiana, Illinois, and Florida. Bonnie taught Sunday School and Children's Church for more than 40 years to countless kids who called her Memaw. They retired to West Salem in 1995 and attended multiple area churches.

The one thing Bonnie would most want people to know is that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the only way to Salvation.

In lieu of flowers, Joe and Bonnie would have requested donations for their great-grandson Isaiah's continued education in ministry. Donations can also be made to Good News Productions (GNPI), PO Box 222, Joplin, MO 64802-0222 in their names.
