With a sadness that’s indescribable we announce Bonnie Lou DiCola (Wentworth), 65, passed away peacefully on April 10^th at 10:50pm. Bonnie was comforted and surrounded by her loving husband, two cherished children & son-in-law as she drifted away. She was told stories, reminded of memories, and listened to videos of her grandson to provide comfort.

Bonnie was born on April 25^th, 1955 in Northampton, Massachusetts to Doris Lydia Wentworth (Phillips) and Harold Dusty Wentworth of Amherst, Massachusetts. As a little girl and only child, Bonnie was dotted on by her loving parents. Between hunting with the dogs, church service and VFW adventures, Bonnie was always included in her parent’s outings.

In 1971, Bonnie was introduced to Michael A. DiCola who in the years to come would ignite an ever-lasting love that many of us only dream of. They married April 26^th 1975, in Amherst, MA surrounded by their best friends and families. The two love-birds were inseparable from the beginning, and the only time they spent apart was when Michael traveled to races. During these times, Bonnie would wait by the door for his return. They had a love that movies couldn’t replicate, and books couldn’t compare to.

In 1985, they happily welcomed their first-born son, Michael Dustin DiCola, and six years later they joyfully welcomed Angela Rose DiCola. Bonnie’s calling was being a mom to these two children, and a terrific mom at that.

There was no title more defining for Bonnie than that of “Mimi” which was granted to her joyfully on February 4^th, 2017 when her grandson Karter Michael Robert Gotay was born in front of her eyes. Between late nights staying up with Karter, morning cuddles where he would play with her ears, the walks around the block where she had to run after him on his bike, letting him help her plant in her garden, and catching him jump off the ladder in the pool- there was nothing that made her eyes light up more than loving him from head to toe.

Bonnie always had what many would call a “cadillac” smile and it was contagious. Bonnie was well known and respected in the banking community. She would always go out of her way to check on customers, and made sure they knew how important they were to her. Bonnie began her career at Shawmut in the center of Amherst, MA, moved to Bank of Western MA (People’s United Bank) – which was only a few blocks away, and then finished her career at Easthampton Savings Bank as a Portfolio Manager for Municipal Banking. Every customer that Bonnie had, was a part of her heart and soul.

Bonnie has reunited in the sky with her ever-so missed father Harold Dusty Wentworth, and mother Doris Lydia Wentworth (Phillips). Bonnie heartbreakingly leaves behind her true love and husband Michael A. DiCola, her son Michael D. DiCola, her daughter Angela R. Gotay-Cheverez, son-in-law Kevin R. Gotay-Cheverez and adored grandson Karter Michael Robert Gotay.

In lieu of services & funeral, Bonnie will be cremated and come home to rest with her family.

He Only Takes the Best

“God saw you getting tired, and cure was not to be. So, he put his arms around you, and whispered, “Come to me”. With tearful eyes we watched you and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, he only takes the best”
