IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Bonnie Lee
Edwards
May 27, 1970 – March 7, 2019
Our beautiful mother, daughter, sister, grandmother, niece and friend left us unexpectedly on March 7, 2019. Bonnie Lee Jaramillo was born on May 27, 1970, in Idaho Falls, Idaho to Janice and Si Jaramillo.
She was a happy, lively little girl who was loved and cared for by her grandparents Bill and Juanita Heindel who, along with her Aunt Judy, took her on trips to Hawaii and Canada. In her teens, Bonnie was a champion speed skater in Idaho Falls. On Christmas day in 1978 her brother Shane Loveland was born. She loved to torment him, but he was her forever friend. Throughout her life she enjoyed going camping with her family and friends. A story is told that she caught a fish when she was very young and was so upset that the fish was suffering that she banged it on a rock to end its misery.
In 1988, her first son Trevor Jason was born. Over the next six years she was blessed with three more sons - Stephan Donovan, Damien Scott and Michael Chase. Her only daughter, Kayzshia Marlene, was born in 2000. On January 6, 2006, she married Jesse Edwards. They later divorced but not before their son Jacob Phillip was born in 2008. He was her last child and brought her great joy in the 9 years she spent with him. She loved and was proud of her kids and enjoyed sharing in their accomplishments.
Creative was a word that would describe Bonnie. She was always learning new techniques and applied that gift to make beautiful paintings, beadwork, quilts, handmade rugs and more. Family and friends often received her creations either for Christmas, birthdays or "just because". Her intricate fairy gardens and driftwood sculptures were amazing.
She loved being "Memaw" and used her talents to make toys and organizing activities for her grandkids.
Bonnie had many friends who were an important part of her life. She could always count on them to help her out when she needed anything.
She was preceded in death by her grandparents, William and Juanita Heindel, Sam and Marlene Jaramillo.
She is survived by her parents, Janice Loveland and Si (Susan) Jaramillo, both of Idaho Falls, Idaho; children Trevor (Nancy) Gardner of San Angelo, Texas, Stephan Jaramillo of Ririe, Idaho, Damien (Sheena) Jaramillo of Idaho Falls, Idaho, Michael Gardner of Idaho Falls, Idaho, Kayzshia (Tristan) Burgoyne of Twin Falls, Idaho and Jacob Edwards of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho; brother Shane (Cali) Loveland of Idaho Falls, Idaho; grandchildren Donovan, Abigail, Oliver and Aydin; aunts, uncles and many friends.
She was a giving, caring person and as a final act of her generosity, she was an organ donor.
