Bonnie Lee Egan

Bonnie Lee Egan, lived a life defined by faith, kindness, generosity, and an unwavering commitment to the people she loved.  Born on February 20, 1945, in Passaic, New Jersey, and passing away peacefully on June 3, 2026, in West Long Branch, New Jersey. She faced her final chapter with the same grace, courage, faith, and strength that defined her life.

Bonnie was the beloved wife of Richard K. Egan, who preceded her in death, and proud and devoted mother to Kevin M. Egan, his wife Melissa S. Egan, and to the late Kristin J. Egan. Bonnie was a mother figure to her nieces Dawn M. Egan and Ronni L. Weinkauf, with whom she shared a very special bond. She was the cherished grandmother of Jazlyn L. Egan, loving sister of Frances S. Tukdarian, and a deeply loved aunt to her nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews. She also brought tremendous love and joy to her honorary grandchildren, who were blessed by her warmth, encouragement, and love.

A devoted Christian, Bonnie’s faith guided every aspect of her life. For more than 35 years, she met weekly with the same Bible study group, forming lifelong friendships grounded in prayer and fellowship. She also dedicated herself to serving others through philanthropy and volunteer work at her church and local food pantry. She showed up. She listened. She encouraged. She loved. She lifted others higher. That was her gift.

Bonnie treasured family, friendship, and time spent with others. She enjoyed playing Mahjong with the same group for over 30 years and loved reading, puzzling, and playing games, where her sharp mind and playful spirit always shone through.

Though she fought hard through her battles with cancer, Bonnie’s life was defined not by illness, but by kindness, humor, compassion, and unwavering love for others. She often said, “It is what it is, but it can be what you make of it,” and “Choose kindness,” words she lived by every day.

Bonnie leaves behind a lasting legacy of faith, love, and generosity that will continue through all who were fortunate enough to know her.
