Bonnie A. DeBramaletta was born on November 12th, 1941, in Cleveland, Ohio.

As one of 5 children born to the late Michael & Barbara DeBramaletta and sister to Renee, Michael, and the late Forrestine Jones and Clarence DeBramaletta.

She made her transition on February 14th, 2026, to reunite with her Savior Jesus Christ at 12:44 p.m.

Bonnie confessed Christ at an early age as her personal Savior.

She attended St. Edward and St. Aloysius Catholic Schools and graduated from Marycrest Catholic. She then later married Walter Mayhew in 1984, and they divorced in the early 2000s. She worked as a healthcare provider until she gained employment through the Board of Education for many years until retirement. She enjoyed cooking for people and loved taking care of her dogs and cats she fostered and all her other fur babies that crossed her path. It was truly her passion to look after all animals.

Her brothers and sisters also meant the world to her. She was like a second mom to her two younger siblings, Renee and Clarence, while their older brother, Michael DeBramaletta, went out to serve his country as a decorated U.S. Marine with three terms in Vietnam so his brother Clarence could serve in Germany. Michael served his country and his family.

Bonnie was very charitable and had a heart of gold for helping others in need. She had so many qualities about herself, a selfless, gentle, nurturing heart. She was also a faithful and devoted mother to her children and grandchildren. All who knew her know family was everything to her, and she would say show compassion and help one another out. We know Bonnie’s last breath on earth was her first breath in heaven. She’s walking, dancing, and talking to Jesus, Father God, I’m home Dad, free at last. Her life was a blessing, and her memory will be a treasure. You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.

She leaves to mourn her brother, Michael DeBramaletta; sister, Renee DeBramaletta; and her dear friend, Mamie Johnson,

Marisa DeBramaletta [Wesley], Angela DeBramaletta, Jerome DeBramaletta, Robert Kinney, and her twin boys Angelo & Anthony Brown.
