Bonnie K. (Olson) Hurtle Obituary

ORANGE - Bonnie K. (Olson) Hurtle passed away peacefully on January 4, 2021 due to complications while courageously battling melanoma.

She was born on August 25, 1944 in Montague, MA, the daughter of John H. Olson, Jr. and Doris (Bourque) Olson. She graduated from St. Pius X Catholic High School in Chamblee, GA in 1962.

She volunteered at the polling stations on election days and with other local organizations, including Orange American Legion Post 172. She was a member of St. Mary’s Church.

A dedicated wife, mother, sister and friend, Bonnie especially loved her role as NaNa. She enjoyed traveling, trips to the beach, bowling, shopping and watching the Boston Red Sox and the New England Patriots. Bonnie was always there to offer encouragement and met every challenge with a positive attitude. Her “Bonnie-ism’s” will live on in the hearts of her loved ones.
