Bonita Lee (Kento) Ansell

Bonita “Bonnie” Lee Ansell, of Cheswick, Caring wife, Mother, Grandmother, sister and friend. Left our world at the age of 77 on December 1, 2024. 

  Bonnie has been a lifelong resident of the valley where she enjoyed working and being near her family.  She graduated from Springdale High School and attended Edinboro University.  Her final career move led her to the Springdale Public library where she loved working with her library family and teaching adults and  children to make crafts.  Bonnie also enjoyed a good book to read, working on quilts, crafting for the holidays as well as sharing one of the many stories of growing up with family and friends from the valley.  One of her latest joys in life was being a part of her grandchildren’s lives, either watching one of their many activities or schooling them in a game of cards, often letting them win.  She will be dearly missed by all.

Surviving her are:

Son Timothy Maloney Jr. (Melissa Maloney)

Beloved Grandchildren Jesse, Ryan and Halle.

Brother Robert (Cathy ) Kento

Father-in-law Robert Ansell Sr.

Brothers and sisters-in law Susan, Dennis (Lori), Tom (Stacey), Joe (Barbara) Ansell,
