Age 85, passed away Saturday May 25, 2013 at her home in Cherry Hill. Born in Camden in 1928 to Roy and Nerma Neale, Bonnie is predeceased by her beloved husband Anthony C. Drago, Sr. and her brother Roy L. Neale, Jr.
Bonnie was born and raised in Audubon and was a member of the Audubon High School Graduating Class of 1945. She was a proud member of the Audubon "Bon-Bons" All Girl Drum & Bugle Corps. She was a lifelong member of the Haddonfield Friends Meeting and was a dedicated member of their community. Upon the passing of her beloved husband Tony, 20 years ago, Bonnie worked as a volunteer with the American Cancer Society's Cancer Adjustment Support Group, the same group that had supported her family during her husband's illness.
Bonnie leaves behind to cherish her memory, her loving children Anthony "Ty" C. Drago, Jr. (Helene) and Susan Drago-McDevitt (Robert S.). She is the proud grandmother of Kimberly Elizabeth Drago, Robert Michael McDevitt, Anthony "Andy" Charles Drago, III and Daniel Brian McDevitt. Mrs. Drago is survived by her sister Nancy Nelson and her dear cousin Marcy McKinney-Johnson (Claud). She will be sadly missed by many loving nieces, nephews and cousins.
Relatives and friends are invited to join the Drago family to remember and pay tribute to Bonnie Friday evening between 7-9PM at the Henry Funeral Home, 152 W. Atlantic Ave. Audubon. A Memorial Celebration of Bonnie's life will take place Saturday morning from 10-11AM at Haddonfield Friends Meeting, 45 Friends Ave, Haddonfield, NJ 08033. Interment to follow at Haddonfield Friends Cemetery.
As an expression of sympathy and in lieu of flowers donations can be made to: Haddonfield Friends Meeting at the above address and/or the American Cancer Society, 1851 Old Cuthbert Rd., Cherry Hill, NJ 08034.
Dear Friends. So many have asked how they may help? We ask that if you are able to join us in celebrating the life of Bonnie Drago by looking for our "Celebrating Bonnie Basket" at both the viewing on Friday
evening and the memorial service on Saturday morning. If you feel so moved, please take the time to jot down a pleasant or funny memory of Bonnie, or a brief story of how she touched your life, and place it in the basket. We will have note paper available - or you may bring your
note with you.
If you have never been to a Quaker Memorial, then Saturday's morning's event will be one you never forget. You are welcome to share your memories or thoughts at the memorial yourself by standing and speaking. In our faith, there is no clergy. Instead, we are all "ministers",
sharing worship and remembering a wonderful woman.
And yes Bonnie and Tony will be there. :)
Thanks you for your love and support.
