WAREHAM – Bonnie G. Stinson, 76, of Hanson, passed away on June 22, 2023, at Beth Israel Deaconess Hopsital, Plymouth. She was the daughter of the late Harry F. and Jennie A. (Gayoski) Stinson.

She was born in Wareham and lived in Marion, Wareham and Carver for many years before recently moving to Hanson.

Bonnie was involved with the Cerebral Palsy Foundation and was a strong advocate for the independence of handicapped and special needs individuals.

Bonnie was blessed with exceptional verbal skills and served as an aide to help friends at her day program make their wishes and thoughts known.

Survivors include her sisters, Barbara J. Stinson of Medway, June Johnson and her husband, Albin of Marion and Deborah Stinson of Marion as well as cousins, nieces and nephews nearby in Rochester, Freetown and Fairhaven, and faraway in Illinois, Maine, Virginia, California and Florida.
