FAIRPORT, N.Y. — Joan F. Bonney, 86, of Fairport, N.Y., formerly of Wilton, who died Oct. 9, 2017, was born Nov. 16, 1930, in Wilton, the daughter of George and Madge (Chase) Bonney. She was a graduate of Edward Little High School.

In the late 1950s, she owned the Main Street Diner in Wilton, and for many years worked in the electronics industry. She was an animal lover and had a particular passion for Border Collies. Though she never had children of her own, her nieces and nephews and their families were near and dear to her heart. She will long be remembered as a kind, gracious, “good lady!”

She is survived by her nephew, Joel Bunker, and his wife, Louise, of West Farmington, and their children Tammy Ackerman and Scott Bunker.

She was predeceased by her niece, Bonnie Bunker Welch, in 1967, but is survived by her children Peter Bunker, Shelly Bunker and Rene Bunker. She was also predeceased by two nephews: R. Mason Bunker, but is survived by his son, Ben Bunker; and Bonnie’s twin brother, Ronnie Bunker, but is survived by his daughters Bonnie Bunker Fisher and Judy Zanin.
