Audette, Bonnie L. age 76 of Cedar, MN passed away on August 27, 2022 at Mercy Hospital in Coon Rapids surrounded by her family.

Bonnie Audette was born on July 27, 1946 in Crookston, MN, the oldest of four children, to Harvey and Marie (Weiss) Casavan. She grew up on the family farm near Red Lake Falls, MN. She attended Lafayette High School in Red Lake Falls, and graduated from there in 1964. Following high school, Bonnie moved to Minneapolis for employment.

On November 27, 1965 Bonnie was united in marriage to Dean Audette at St. Dorothy's Catholic Church in Dorothy, MN. To this union, two sons were born, Greg and Mike. Dean and Bonnie made their home, first in Bloomington, MN and then in East Bethel, MN until her death.

Bonnie loved her family and her most happy times were times spent with them. She and Dean spent winters in Laughlin, NV where they enjoyed the good life of retirement, which included playing cards and pulling levers of slot machines. Her last few years included declining health, but she did not let this change her always pleasant personality and positive attitude. She fought the good fight every step of the way, and was always a joy to be with. May her memory be blessed.

Bonnie Is preceded in death by her parents, Harvey and Marie Casavan; brother, Mark Casavan; parents-in-law, Eldrick and Evelyn Audette; sister-in-law, Beverly Audette Perreault and Beverly Hodgson Audette.
