Bonnie Lou (Fisher) Green passed away in her personal care home in Marietta, Georgia on
February 8, 2026 at the age of 82, after a long battle with Lewy Body Dementia. Bonnie was
born in Tyrone, Pennsylvania on October 4, 1943 to mother Pauline Shildt Fisher, and father
Albert J. Fisher, who was killed in action in Germany fighting in World War II when his beloved
only daughter Bonnie was a baby. Bonnie, a lovable child with large hazel eyes and a knack for
mathematics, was raised by her mother and grandmother, Ida Shildt.

Bonnie as a young woman went on to qualify as a nurse in Oklahoma. She'd remember for the
rest of her life seeing tornadoes barreling down her street outside of her apartment, and she
vowed to never return to Tornado Alley. Bonnie moved to Maryland and worked as a nurse,
heading the neonatal unit at St. Agnes Hospital in Baltimore, and later working at the University
of Maryland Medical Center in its innovative Shock Trauma unit. In the latter half of her nearly
40 years as a nurse, she worked as an RN case manager. Outside of nursing, Bonnie, known
for her taste and elegance, taught ballroom dance lessons and did beautiful interior design
work. She was a social butterfly who loved to host parties and Christmas dinners, would often
strike up conversations with strangers she'd meet throughout her day, and was elected the
founding president of the Columbia Sunrise Rotary Club.

Married three times over her lifetime, she met the love of her life in her third husband, William A.
Green. They met when William, then the owner of a pet cemetery, buried her small poodle
named André. William and Bonnie struck up a friendship which bloomed into love.

William helped Bonnie track down her biological firstborn daughter, Letha D. (Cellars) Mahar, whom single young mother Bonnie had given up for adoption decades earlier when Letha was born. Letha and Bonnie maintained a close friendship through the rest of Bonnie's life.

Bonnie and William, then married and both in their 40s, struggled to have children of their own. But happily, they were early success stories of in vitro fertilization with an egg donation when on December 1, 1992, Bonnie delivered two healthy twin girls, Alexandra and Christina. They were
the light of Bonnie's life. She thrived as a mother, always present for, playing with and teaching her daughters; chaperoning every school field trip; attending every sporting event and school play with enthusiasm; and devoting her whole life to making sure her girls knew they were loved.

Bonnie cared for her beloved stepfather Robert H. Crowston, whom she called "Dad" and was
"Grandpa" to her twin daughters, in his advancing age, prompting her to move to Florida in 2011
to be nearer to him. Her daughter Christina, then a freshman at the University of Miami, was
nearby and the family spent years of quality time together in Florida until Robert's death in 2015.
Bonnie's own health began to rapidly decline in 2023, but she remained in Florida with home
healthcare until January 2024, when her struggles with mobility and cognition due to her Lewy
Body Dementia demanded more constant assistance. Christina readily became Bonnie's family
caregiver, moving Bonnie, along with her cats she adored, to live in an assisted living near her
home in Georgia.

Throughout Bonnie's disease progression, she never once lost her sweet disposition, her sense
of humor, nor her memories of and love for her dear family. The family was blessed with far
more quality time with Bonnie than doctors, who didn't know Bonnie's inner strength, had
predicted she could live. After a complicating illness of more than a month, Bonnie passed
peacefully in her sleep.

Preceding her in death are her mother Pauline Shildt Crowston and father Albert Fisher; her
stepfather Robert Crowston; her beloved mother-in-law Lillian Leola (Sparrow) Keene; and
many pets she held dear to her heart. Bonnie is survived by her daughters, Christina Clarissa
Green and her fiancé Matthew Capron; Alexandra Alyssa (Green) Brown and her husband
Vincent Brown; and Letha (Cellars) Mahar and husband Kevin Mahar; her grandchildren Holly,
Sean, and Jameson Mahar, and Kimberly Jade (Mahar) Colang and husband J.R. Colang; and
great-granddaughters Ava and Alice Bighorse and Evelyn Colang; her friend and former
husband William Anthony Green; her cherished tabby cat Chloe; and a host of loving extended
family and friends — Bonnie truly made friends everywhere she went, until the very end.
Bonnie has been returned to ashes and her family will memorialize her privately in their own
way. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the
