1962-2025

Web and Social Media Manager, Tisch, Kanbar Film

Bonita passed away peacefully on March 11, 2025, at the age of 62, on a beautiful early spring afternoon.

For 23 years, Bonita was a vital part of the TSOA Film and TV department. With deep dedication and quiet brilliance, she shaped the digital backbone of the department—overseeing the website with care, developing our social media presence, and guiding faculty through evolving course management systems. Her impact reached every corner of our community, often behind the scenes, always with generosity.

An alum of the Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP), Bonita was also an extraordinary artist. Her creative talents spanned drawing, painting, printmaking, digital art, and ceramics. She was a regular participant in AMC exhibitions.

Bonita’s work centered on her observation of the world around her. Her art was marked by a deep sensitivity to beauty, emotion, and the quiet moments of everyday life—offering honest reflections that invited viewers to pause and relate.

Bonita brought both artistry and empathy to everything she did. She will be remembered not only for her technical skill and creative vision, but for her kindness, insight, humor, and the grace with which she moved through the world.

She leaves behind a legacy of beauty, care, and quiet strength. We are deeply grateful for the years we shared with her. We will always miss her.
