Bonnie Lorene Dille, age 86, passed away peacefully on January 8, 2024 at Prestige Care Center, Fairfield, IA surrounded by her family. She was born on May 10, 1937 in Fairfield to the late Gilbert and Goldie Pruden. Bonnie graduated from Fairfield High School in 1955. She married Kenneth Dale Dille on July 17, 1955. Together they raised five children. Bonnie worked at J & B Plastics and PLEXCO.

She was predeceased by her husband, Kenneth Dille; her son, Stephen Dille; her sister, Marjory Royer; her brother, Gilbert Melvin; a grandson, Brad Meade.

Bonnie was a woman of resilience and strength. Despite these losses, Bonnie's light never diminished. She remained a beacon of love for her children, their spouses and her cherished family, who survive her. She leaves behind her children: Vicky (David) Hyde, Crista (Terry) Meade, Michael (Laura) Dille, Tim (Jenny) Dille, Nadine Dille (widow of Steve); Two siblings: Marilyn Glass and Karen Luke; Sister-in-law: Roberta Pruden; 17 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren.

She treasured her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and embraced every visit from them, with a bowl of candy for them close by.

With her passing, Bonnie has left a void that cannot be filled. However, the Dille family finds solace in knowing that Bonnie is reunited with her loved ones who have gone before her. Bonnie Dille will continue to live on in the hearts of her family and a footprint of love, care and affection on the hearts of those she encountered.

The family is deeply grateful for the condolences and the loving support from friends and family during this difficult time. Bonnie’s life will be remembered and celebrated privately with family, in accordance with her wishes.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be sent to one of the following: American Cancer Society; Hospice Compassus - Washington, IA; University of Iowa Organ Transplant Center.
