Bonnie Kae Wilson

January 19, 1953 - October 20, 2023

Bonnie Kae Wilson, born on January 19, 1953, in Sidney, OH, tragically left this world on October 10, 2023. She was the beloved daughter of Franklin and Mary Finley and spent her formative years on a farm in Wapakoneta, OH, alongside her siblings Phyllis, James, MaryAnn, and Peggie Jane.

Bonnie, a graduate of Wapakoneta High School in 1971, embarked on a life filled with love, laughter, and adventure. She was blessed with two children, Noah and Sadie Cushwa, from her marriage to Lynn Cushwa. Following her heart, Bonnie explored the vast expanse of the United States before settling in Lee's Summit, MO.

In 2006, as a single woman, Bonnie found joy in square dancing and, on October 9, 2010, she tied the knot with Roger Wilson. The couple made their home in Gove, KS, where Bonnie continued to spread her infectious kindness and care. Her giving nature and warm presence touched the lives of those around her, leaving an indelible mark on her family and community.

She is survived by her son, Noah Cushwa, and daughter, Sadie Cushwa, both of Gove, KS; sister, MaryAnn Finley of Wapakoneta, OH; stepson, Braden (Dustie) Wilson of Wellsville, KS; stepdaughter, Kelley (David) Dunbar of Gardner, KS; and 10 cherished grandchildren.

Bonnie was preceded in death by her parents, Franklin and Mary Finley; brother, James Finley; sisters, Phyllis Ferr, and Peggie Jane Finley; and grandson Gage Wilson.
