It is with the utmost sorrow and deepest sadness that we inform you of the passing of our beloved Bernadette Wendy Bonas. Fondly known as Wendy, she passed away peacefully surrounded by her loved ones on April 18th, 2022. Her brief, yet intense, battle with cancer showed her resilience, strength and determination.
The loving wife of Vibert Brewster, proud and devoted mother to Leslie-Ann Bonas (deceased) and Max Bazile, dear step-mother to Cheryl Ballantyne, Gary, Garvin, Heather, Travis and Shakira Brewster, mother in love to Stephanie Bazile, adored Nana of Amina, Asante, Assyria and Ahmaud, sister of Maureen Samuel (deceased); cousin of the Bonas` and Samuels`, cousin and adopted sister of Eutrice Belfon and Esla Bonas, cherished by many nieces, nephews and god children, extended family, and precious friends. All of those she loved and touched deeply.
Wendy loved to love people. She had a compassionate and generous spirit that extended to all who knew her. She especially loved and thrived in her role as Nana. She treasured her grandchildren and embraced every moment with them. Known for her outstanding skills in the kitchen, creating delicious meals were one of her many passions. Feeding and serving people was her virtue. She also loved collecting African art, watching episodes of Coronation Street, reading novels and her Bible as well as gardening. She was extremely proud of her beautiful plants and enjoyed putting them on display.
She will be lovingly remembered as classy, stylish, warm hearted, kind and feisty. A joker, and straight shooter with an infectious laugh. Wendy, Mommy, Mum, Nana, Auntie you will be greatly missed. You left an enormous imprint in our hearts and your legacy and impact will forever be treasured. May you rest in perfect peace in the arms of the Heavenly Father. We will always love you.

I am so saddened to hear about my dear friend Bernadette.She and I were part of a team (at McGill). We fondly referred to ourselves as "The Fabulous Four " I will miss our phone calls, lunches and discussions about our plants. God bless Vibert and all her family. She loved her family dearly, especially her grandchildren. She shared their pictures with such pride. May you all find strength to get through this very difficult time
