Bonnie Knaggs Obituary

Bonnie was very kind to me when I visited North Baltimore from my home in Texas. My ancestors lived there and she introduced me to a long lost cousin and Dr, King ( whose office is in my great grandfather Stouffer´s home.) I enjoyed knowing her and learned so much from her. She was an expert on the local history!

RIP Bonnie will Miss your History, been part of my life ,

Bonnie was the go-to historian for all that is North Baltimore.
She championed for many altruistic causes in the community. We absolutely loved her publications about the back stories and history of the village.
She knew how to wheel and deal in her buying and selling of homes too!
May her legacy and open heart live on.

Bonnie is truly a legend. She is the godmother of North Baltimore history as well as an excellent writer and photographer. She also was a trailblazer in many ways she has brought joy too many with her posts over the years. God bless her and keep her safe. She will finally be reunited with her loved ones in heaven love you, Bonnie!

The village of North Baltimore lost one on there most tried and true cheerleaders ....Bonnie loved North Baltimore, Ohio and was never shy to tell anyone and everyone...very opinionated about the rich history Bonnie had thousands of pictures and more knowledge about NB than anyone I've ever known....if any one ever had a question about North Bsltimore the go to phrase was " ask, Bonnie " and if she didn't know she'd do her best to get an answer.

Bonnie I will miss you and all the stories we would share about North Baltimore and printing , Bonnie worked many years at the North Baltimore News even in the 50s when my Dad worked as a pressman ....she was the only woman at the time employed there......
Bonnie's favorite candy bar was original Clark Bars....by far...so even after then quit making them I found a source of supply over at Brinkmans supply....
I'd go over and by some and when she lived at westhaven Apts I'd put them in a plastic bag with a nice note signed Deke Rivers ....for years she had no idea it was me until somebody told her who Deke Rivers was and she put 2 and 2 together and figured out it was me.....I didn't mind cause they gave her so much pleasure....
So North Baltimore is alittle sadder this week as we mourn the loss of our #1 village cheerleader and historian....
Bonnie RIP
Love ya
Deke Rivers
