Bonnie Jean Zelinsky Krosse

It has been said that there is a garden in the acts and attitudes of person’s life and the treasures of that garden are love and respect. By this standard, or any other, my beloved wife and partner lived a treasure filled life.

Bonnie Jean Zelinsky Krosse was born on September 30, 1954 in Pottsville, Pennsylvania to Thomas J. Zelinsky, Sr. and Noretta A. Burdess Zelinsky.

She is survived by her sister, Linda Kanezo of Newport News, Virginia and her brother and best friend, Thomas J. Zelinsky, Jr. of Pine Gove, Pennsylvania as well as her mother-in-law, Dolores Krosse and her brother-in-law and sister-in- law, James and Carrie Krosse of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

I was blessed to share a life together with this amazing person for nearly thirty years. Bonnie touched many lives, not only through her long career in university student services, but also as a loyal and caring spouse, sibling, dog mom and friend. Bonnie’s caring extended to her passion for decorating and
gardening. But most importantly, she made people feel better about themselves.

Perhaps it is fitting that when Bonnie left us to be with the Lord on July 20, 2022, she was sitting in her home garden that she loved so much. Now, it is time for her to tend her celestial garden. Love always, Jeff

Bonnie’s family will receive guests on Tuesday, July 26th, from 4-8 pm, at the funeral home.
