Bonnie Carolyn Harrigan's Obituary
In Loving Memory of Bonnie Harrigan
4-24-1940 – 12-31-24
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Mom-mom, and great Mom-mom, Bonnie Carolyn Harrigan, on December 31, 2024, surrounded by the love of her family. She was 84 years old.
Born in Lima, PA on April 24, 1940, Bonnie was a force of nature—loving, sassy, and full of life. Her fiery spirit was matched only by her boundless love for her family. A proud matriarch, she leaves behind a legacy of love and strength through her three children, Vaughn Harrigan, Jr., Shani Harrigan and Kim Rice, her 10 grandchildren, and her 21 great-grandchildren.
Bonnie was at the heart of many gatherings, her home always a sanctuary of warmth and comfort. She was a caring, cat-loving woman who was quick to offer her opinion and sassy remarks to those who knew her. Her joy in life was found in her family, her faith, her cats and the simple pleasures of a well-lived life.
She was preceded in death by Vaughn Harrigan and is now reunited with him, watching over the family with the same love she gave in life.
Her family finds comfort in the countless memories of her love, her laughter, and her ways.
A celebration of her life will be held on January 4, 2024, at Mio Fratellos, 38016 Fenwick Shoals Blvd. #4, Selbyville, DE 19975. The celebration will begin at 3:00pm. All in attendance are encouraged to share their memories of Bonnie. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made in her memory to Alley Cat Allies.
Though she is gone from this world, Bonnie’s love and spirit will live on through the family she cherished and the lives she touched.
Rest in peace, dear Bonnie, mom, mom-mom and little mom-mom. You will forever be missed and cherished.
