Janet Kay Bonar

January 8, 1942 — September 12, 2024

Gardner

Janet Kay Bonar, 82, of Gardner, passed away on September 12, 2024 at Olathe Hospice House.

She was born on January 8, 1942 to Melvin and Gertrude (Hale) Argo in Frankfort, KS. 

On June 10, 1960, she married Elmer “Glenn” Bonar, and they made their home in Gardner, Kansas. 

She was a nearly life-long member of the First Presbyterian Church of Gardner. She was a supportive partner to her husband, Glenn, working alongside him on the farm and striving to make the world a better place. Janet was “Mom” to everyone including walking with unescorted kids on senior nights as their “mom.” She was well-known for her sense of humor. Janet laughed often and loved endlessly. 

Janet is survived by her loving children, Laura (Eric) Gourley and Jim (Laura) Bonar, grandchildren, Heather (Darren) Hall, Brent Gillespie, Megan (Brock) Mueller, Jacie Bonar, Nicole Bernard, Angie Gourley, Brandon (Liz) Gourley and great grandchildren, Kaylynn and Abigail Hall, Lincoln Bernard, Connor and Blaine Gourley and Luke and Norah Gourley.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Glenn, on September 9, 2024. 

Private services will be held, with burial in the Gardner Cemetery. 

In keeping with her community “mom” legacy, memorials are suggested to the Joy Closet or Hope Market food pantries; be sure to mark some funds for or include desserts; Janet loved sweets. 

Glenn and Janet did everything together, all the way to the end of their lives. They leave a proud and loving legacy to their family.
