Martha M. “Marti” Bonk, age 70, of Wilmington, DE passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by family on Thursday, July 3, 2025.
She was born and raised in Newport, Rhode Island. As a young adult she moved to Delaware and worked at the Chrysler Plant in Newark. Here, she met her husband of 47 years, Paul J. Bonk, Sr. Along with a husband, Marti gained three children, Roni Bryson, Paul J. Bonk, Jr. and Wendy Harris (David).
She enjoyed crafting, crossword puzzles and gardening but more importantly taking care of all her beloved dogs throughout her lifetime.
Along with Paul and his three children, she will be dearly missed by her 8 grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren and her extended family and siblings in Newport, Rhode Island. Marti was preceded in death by her daughter-in-law, Kim Bonk.
Services and burial will be held privately at the Delaware Veterans Memorial Cemetery, Bear, Delaware.
