Bonita Mae Gebhardt (Allison) received her angel wings January 24, 2023 in her home on “The Farm” in Helena, MT. She was 76 years old. She fought hard against the relentless Alzheimer’s Disease to earn those wings. Bless her heart.
Bonita was born in Fort Benton, Montana, on July 20, 1946. She was the baby of the family with three older brothers born to Jesse and Mildred Allison. Being the baby and the only girl, she and her mother shared a special bond that is still unbroken.
Bonita moved to Billings, MT after high school where she met her husband, Delvin Gebhardt. After a short courtship, they got married “the second they had to” on August 2, 1969. That fateful night when he asked her to dance turned into 53 years of caring, commitment, and love. She was so very grateful for the love and dedication from “Mister” to make each of her last years count. Their son, Kelvin (Roberta), was born November 5, 1970 and their daughter, Angela (Craig Yonce), on June 28, 1974. She poured herself into her role as wife and mom attending to every detail and always adding a little something extra to make others feel loved. read more
