Bonita Loyd's Obituary
Bonita Loyd, 76, of Ottawa Hills, Ohio passed away on May 23, 2026 surrounded by her loving family.
Bonnie was born in Hempstead, New York and grew up in São Paulo, Brazil and Toledo, Ohio. She graduated from Ohio Wesleyan University and then received her paralegal degree from the University of Toledo. She was a valued and dedicated employee at Shumaker, Loop and Kendrick for thirty years. Bonnie was a long-time resident of Ottawa Hills, Ohio, where she raised her three children.
Bonnie was a loving mother to her surviving sons, Aaron (Sharda) Loyd of North Ridgeville, Ohio and Andrew Loyd of Salemburg, North Carolina. Her most favorite role was that of “Nan” to Hayden (age 23), Emma (18), Evan (16), Annabelle (14), Connor (12) and Quinn (9), who will dearly miss her robust laugh and twenty questions.
Bonnie was preceded in death by her precious daughter Margaret (“Maggie”) Loyd Isabell and her parents, Keith and Joan Covelle. She is survived by her siblings: Catherine Covelle of Toledo, Ohio, Keith (LaDonna) Covelle of Fredericksburg, Virginia, and Tina (Jim) Biggs of Seneca, South Carolina.
The family kindly requests no flowers. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
