Bonnie P. Dallas

Bonnie P. Dallas of Chatham Center passed away peacefully on September 23, 2020 at her home surrounded by family after a ten-month courageous battle with cancer. She was born on February 5th, 1949 to James II and Pauline (Stalker) Dalzell in Hudson NY.

Before her retirement she attended Chatham Central School and Albany Medical School of nursing where she graduated as an LPN. Bonnie worked as a nurse including Pine Haven, Barnwell, COARC, Berkshire Farm, for Dr. Neal Baillargeon, and most recently at the Columbia County Jail where she was the “mean one”. She loved attending concerts and traveled throughout the north east to see Conway Twitty and even met him a few times in the 80’s, (made Bob stand in the rain and mud for hours to be near the stage). After Conway passed away her Favorite became Alan Jackson but never really liked the “new crap” Bonnie loved going to the casinos, even went to Foxwoods the first day it opened! It certainly cut down on travel time when Saratoga harness track became the Racino considering her last trip to Vegas gave her a heart attack on the flight home. She loved all animals and greatly missed her service companion Chihuahua Prince.

Bonnie will be greatly missed by all that knew her and is survived by her Husband of 41 years Robert A Dallas of Chatham Center, her daughter Lisa (Mark) Tuthill of Chatham, Scott (Michelle) Dallas of Canaan, grandson Ayden Dallas and step grandchildren Mark and Kaleb Haywood. Her sister Wilma (Vernon) Westover of Niverville, Brother James Dalzell III of Chatham, Mother-in-law Betty (Clarence Pre Deceased) Dallas of Chatham and her nieces and nephew.

Calling hours for family and friends will be at the Wenk Funeral home on Monday September 28th from 5-7 pm with interment at the convenience of family at the Chatham Center Rural Cemetery.
