Bonnie worked as a secretary for Dr. David Phillips and later worked for Mead Paper in the north end Finishing Department until her retirement.
Bonnie loved sports, especially NFL football and NASCAR. She also loved cooking, canning and collecting glass figurines, but she especially loved her daily visits from family and friends stopping by for coffee and comradery. The Therriault home is affectionately known as, “The Coffee House”.
Her son Eric was her world and a source of tremendous pride and joy. She loved and adored caring for Eric and Tom and her daughter-in-law, Peggy; who she said was the daughter she never had. Her family was everything to her.
