Born in Coral Gables, FL to Freddie & Willie Brooks, Bonnie graduated from Miami Senior High School in 1962 and was married to Lester Charles Raiman (Les) in March of 1966. Her most important roles were as a housewife, mother, daughter and friend extraordinaire. These roles would span two continents (North and South America) where along the way Bonnie would make lasting friendships and enjoy many fantastic experiences.
Shortly after her marriage to Les, they began their life together by briefly moving to Dallas, Texas on their way to San Juan, Puerto Rico where her two children Kimberley and Robert were born. In 1976, Bonnie and Les moved to Caracas, Venezuela where they lived until 1980 and then settled in New Providence, NJ.
Bonnie would go on to raise her two children, supporting their development through elementary school, high school and college. She was very involved in their extracurricular lives, including sports and colorguard, where she made lasting impressions on her children’s friends, parents and all who she engaged with. Bonnie and Les moved to Ft. Lauderdale, FL in 1993 where she rekindled many old friendships and would finally move to Exton, PA after Lester’s passing. As in every place where she lived, Bonnie would go on to make many rewarding friendships within Exton’s Chadwell Community.
Her shining personality, endless energy and positive attitude will be missed by many. She is survived by her daughter, Kimberley Riehl (Matthew), and son, Robert Raiman (Carolyn). Adored and loved by her grandchildren, Andrew, Elizabeth, Michael and Christian.
