Bonnee Lee Reay, 68, of Schererville, Indiana entered Heaven on January 8, 2017 after a long battle with cancer. Bonnee married Tim Reay in 1972, and then in 1975 they moved to NW Indiana to attend Hyles-Anderson College. She and Tim had 8 children (2 of those have already preceded her in death), and being a wife, mother and grandmother was the love of her life. After serving in various places, Bonnee and Tim moved back to NW Indiana in 1995, where they have been members of the First Baptist Church of Hammond, Indiana. Bonnee was a full-time wife and mother, but also was a substitute teacher at the Hammond Baptist Schools in Schererville. If you knew Bonnee for any length of time, you would know that her favorite color was any shade of Pink! She would be honored if you wore any shade of pink to her funeral.
