Past
President Bonnie (Bonita Lynn) Grunwald died on Oct.
14, 2005 following a long and courageous battle with
cancer at age 47. Bonnie was a tireless volunteer
with Sooke District Lioness who honored her commitment
to Lioness projects, even when her own health was
failing. One of Bonnie's special moments was when
she as President inducted her mother, Barbara Young
into the Sooke District Lioness Club. Bonnie was chosen
Lioness of the Year for the Sooke District Lioness
twice, last in 2004-2005.
The
Sooke District Lioness along with the Sooke Lions
have supported the creation of a gazebo in the meditative
garden outside the Sooke Child, Family and Youth Centre,
a project of the Co-operative Association of Service
Agencies (Sooke CASA). A plaque in Bonnie's name has
been placed on one of the benches donated by Sooke
District Lioness.
