      Dorothy M. Bon, 96, a resident of Kane Lutheran Home and formerly of 455 Wolfel Avenue, St. Marys, passed away peacefully at the Kane Lutheran Home on Monday, January 13, 2025.

      Dorothy was born on June 10, 1928, daughter to the late William and Clara Lenze Breindel. She was a lifelong resident of the area and a graduate of Central Catholic High School, Class of 1947.

      On June 23, 1951, in the St. Mary's Catholic Church, Dorothy married the late Ludwig L. Bon, Jr., who preceded her in death on February 14, 2013.

      Dorothy is survived by her daughter: Margaret "Peggy" Haines (Michael) of St. Marys; three sons: Joseph Bon (Bonny) of St. Marys, William Bon (Susan) of St. Marys, and Daniel Bon (Donna) of Altoona; nine grandchildren: Richard Bon (Jennifer), Meredith Bon, Joy Shaffer (Eric), Anthony Bon, Jamie Bon, Maura Jones (Patrick), Joseph Haines (Ashley), Martin Haines (Rebecca), and Rachel Wahl (Michael); thirteen great-grandchildren: Alex, Grace, Thomas, Samantha, Sabrina, Finley, Josephina, Connor, Bryce, Madison, Ronan, Ellie Jane, and Fynn; and many nieces and nephews.
