Bonnie Lee Coleman, 64

August 12, 2019

On August 12, 2019, Bonnie Coleman, 64, of Lancaster, beloved wife, mother and dear friend to us ended her earthly journey peacefully at her home. Born in Baltimore, MD, she was the daughter of the late John Patrick Martin Faherty and Betty Lee Bowersox.

The most senior female employee at Dart Container in Leola, she rose from inspector/packer to safety trainer. She loved cats, giraffes, and “trash books” and g&ts on the beach. She was a generous soul and valued family above everything.

Bonnie is survived by her husband, Jeff Coleman; daughter, Erin Lee Bright; a granddaughter, Emma Mae Bright; and siblings: John Faherty, Terry Leskow, Trish Martin, Kelly Beddick and Jennifer Howell.

Services will be private and at the convenience of the family. Donations may be made to https://gifts.worldwildlife.org/gift-center/.

My condolences, thoughts and prayers to the Colman family. I’m a coworker of Bonnie at Dart Container. 15 + Yrs working with Bonnie.  She was supportive with a great sense of humor.  As I reminisce on our conversations I’m  reminded of her looking forward to retirement counting down the days to spend time with her family. Bonnie your presence will be missed.  Although you will be missed by many you’re in a peaceful place with the Lord. Until we meet again my sister♥️
God bless!
