Bonnie Irene Houghtlen

Bonnie I. Houghtlen, 75, passed away on Friday, February 28, 2020 in Fisher Titus Medical Center, surrounded by her loving family. She was born on January 26, 1945 to the late Kenneth and Donna (Farley) Houghtlen.   Bonnie was raised in Collins, graduated from Western Reserve High School, moved to Vermillion, and settled in Norwalk, where she has resided for the past 20 years.
