Bonnie L. Ellison, 71, of Butler, passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 24, 2022, at her residence after a courageous battle with ALS.

She was born Sept. 18, 1950, in Brookville, and was the daughter of the late Dean and Ardella (Servey) Courson.

Bonnie was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and a friend to all. Always a martyr, Bonnie put her family’s needs above her own.

She was the owner and operator of two successful ice cream stands, Ellison's Dairy Bar in Prospect and Meridian.
