THE AMES TRIBUNE, Ames, Story County, Iowa, Saturday, July 17, 2010.
Bonita (Bonnie) Ann Glatz, 61, of Ames, died Friday, July 16, 2010, at her home surrounded by her family and supported by Homeward Hospice. There will be a visitation beginning at 4:30 p.m. with the service to follow at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 21, at St. Thomas Aquinas Church in Ames. A meal will follow the service at the church.
Bonnie was born Nov. 12, 1948 to John A. and Rita (Lester) Sutherland in Rochester, N.Y. Bonnie graduated from Cornell University in 1971 and soon after married her high school sweetheart, Charles (Chuck) Glatz, on June 18, 1971, in Rochester. Bonnie received her PhD in bacteriology from the University of Wisconsin in Madison. Bonnie was a university professor at Iowa State University and retired in 2004 after 29 years in the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition. Bonnie attacked her retirement years with the same passion and zeal with which she served her professional life, making new friends among her fellow volunteers at Ames Library, Food at First, Worldly Goods, Story County Dental Advisory, STA-AMOS, and MGMC. Bonnie continued to travel, volunteer and read extensively following her cancer diagnosis. The manner with which she dealt with her illness, and savored life, was an inspiration to many.
Survivors include her mother, Rita, of Rochester, N.Y.; her husband, Chuck, of Ames; her children Andy (and daughter-in-law Nancy), Rebecca and Catie; and one grandchild, Charlie.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to Story County Dental Clinic (126 S. Kellogg Ave, Suite 1, Ames, IA 50010) or the Emergency Residence Project (www.amesshelter.org/erp/).
Adams Funeral Home and Cremation Service is assisting the family with the arrangements.
