Bonnie Brey born Aug. 24, 1952, in Culver City, California, passed
on April 23, 2018, in Phoenix, Arizona.

Bonnie was survived by her two children, Ryan Brey, of Eugene,
Oregon, and Amy Schendel of Hermosa Beach, California. Her husband,
Marshall Groener of Prescott, along with Amy and Ryan, were present
with her at her peaceful passing.

Bonnie was truly a special person and was loved and admired by all
who knew her.

Bonnie worked for Mattel Toys in El Segundo, California, for over 20
years before moving to Prescott in 1999. In Prescott she worked for
BBBS, Bucky’s and Yavapai Casinos, where she found much joy and
happiness helping patrons and getting to know them and always
welcoming them to the casinos when they arrived.

Bonnie is also survived by her grandson, Sylvan Brey; four step-
children, Dana Groener, Chino, California, Matt Groener, Portland,
Oregon, Seth Groener, Portland Oregon, and Gina Groener, San
Francisco California; and six Groener grandchildren.

Bonnie was preceded in death by her beloved sister, Debora Mckernan.

Bonnie had a wild exuberance for life and a love to connect with the
people around her. Her love and energy was infectious, playful and
simply unforgettable.

We hope you can join us to celebrate her life, share a few stories
and laughs….and of course, a few tears. There will be a celebration
of her life at Augie’s restaurant on Sunday, April 29, at 3-5 p.m.
Food and drinks will be provided.

An additional commemoration will be held in South Bay area of Los
Angeles, California, in few weeks from now for California friends
and family. If you are interested in attending, additional
information will be available on Bonnie’s Facebook page.
