A Celebration of Life will be held for longtime Santa Anita Park employee Bonita Gould at 4 p.m. on June 2 at Peppers Mexican Restaurant.

Bonnie was one of the first people to welcome me when I joined the synagogue. She was a very special person, full of life and humor. She was always fun to be around. She will be missed by all who knew her.
I remember Bonnie from Camino Grove and Dana PTA days (our children are about the same ages) and then having contact with her at Santa Anita when our business paths crossed. She was always friendly and interested on a personal level and most efficient professionally. Over time, the specifics have blurred but I have good memories of chatting with her at her desk at SART and talking to her on the phone in what I recall was her providing a service that was her typical ‘above and beyond.’ My condolences to the family.
