Bonnie M. Edwards' Obituary
Bonnie Edwards passed away peacefully on Sunday, February 9, 2025 with her daughters at her bedside, honoring her final wishes and playing and singing her favorite music.
She was born on April 23, 1944 in Gloucester, MA and died after a brief illness in Tampa, FL where she lived most of her life.
She was preceded in death by her parents Franklin and Marjorie (Lasley) Robinson, her beloved grandson Patrick Dawson and her precious great granddaughter Gracie Dawn Colina.
She is survived by her daughters Devony (Michael) Dawson and Leanne (Esteban) Otero; grandchildren Stephanie Patrinostro, Damian (Abby) Patrinostro, Lucas Dawson, Hannah Grace (Andres) Colina, Judah Otero and Tiffany Rodriguez-Dawson; great grandchildren Adalia Colina, Aspen Dawson, Kingston Dawson, Rafael Colina and Cairo Dawson. She adored and always celebrated her grands and great grands; a devoted and faithful Nina to them all.
A private family service will be held at a later date when her ashes will be scattered in the Gulf of Mexico, in the same location her parents’ ashes were placed.
Her grandson Lucas wants everyone to know she is sitting kind of close to the right hand of Black Jesus, the Father Almighty, with Chewy, her beloved Yorkie, by her side.
