Nancy G. (Higgins) Bonita

Funeral Services were held privately for Nancy G. (Higgins) Bonita, who passed unexpectedly on September 30th. She was 58 years old.

Nancy was born and raised in Dorchester and attended local schools there. After graduating from high school, she went on to continue her education attending Northeastern University studying Child Development. She worked for a several years at Northeastern and later went to work in property management, a career she held for many years. Nancy had an amazing heart and soul and would easily make friends wherever she went. She had a way about her that would make everyone laugh and smile and she had the ability to lighten up the moment even in the most troubling of times. She was a dedicated friend to many and could always be counted on; if you ever needed to remember a number or a specific date in time, you always knew you could ask her. She adored animals, especially her feline companion, Peppa. Nancy enjoyed dancing and she loved the ocean and as a result she spent many years living close to the beach.

She is the beloved mother of Lauren J. Gigliello & her husband Justin of Ormond Beach, Florida & cherished grandmother of Lyla. Devoted daughter of Catherine M. Higgins of Lynn & James Higgins & adored granddaughter of the late Josephine Lombardo & Peter Lombardo. She is also lovingly survived by her feline companion, Peppa & many nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends.
