Bonnie Joyce Ercanbrack Dewey Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Bonnie Joyce Ercanbrack Dewey, 86, passed away peacefully in her home on April 12, 2016 of natural causes. She was born July 14, 1929 to Sterling M. and Fern B. Ercanbrack in Provo, Utah. Bonnie attended BYU and graduated from Utah State University with a bachelor’s degree in Home Economics. She married Gus Dewey on March 20, 1953 in the Manti LDS Temple, who preceded her in death. She is survived by her four children: Steven (Emily) Dewey, Cheryl Dewey, Ellen (Russ) Jensen and Karen (Jim) Hunsaker; ten grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren. Bonnie enjoyed her role as a traditional homemaker and wife. She was an excellent cook and loved fixing large meals for her family as well as being an amazing candy maker. She was also an excellent seamstress. If she could see it, she could sew it, alter it, or tailor it. Bonnie served on numerous clubs and community councils throughout her life in the Provo area; such as the Provo Women’s Council, Federated Women’s Clubs, Comitas Literary Club and her bridge club. She was also a lifetime member of the LDS Church where she served faithfully in many capacities. Her passion in life was her beloved ranch home and property in the South Fork of Provo Canyon. She has many fond memories of spending time there as a young girl. As her family grew she took great pride in the beautiful house she designed and decorated for all of her family to enjoy. We would like to thank mom’s wonderful caregiver Claudia Williams for her aid and loving assistance over the past few years. Words cannot express our gratitude for her kindness and devotion to our mom, dad, and to Cheryl. Funeral services will be held at 1:00 p.m., Saturday, April 16, 2016 at the Pleasant View 1st Ward Chapel, 650 East Stadium Avenue, Provo, Utah. Friends may call at the church from 12-12:45 p.m. prior to services. Interment, Provo City Cemetery. Condolences may be expressed to the family at www.bergmortuary.com.
