Bonnie Rae

Baudino

Torrey/ Fairview, Utah - Bonnie Rae Hunt Parsons Baudino, age 81, passed away peacefully on November 4, 2026, while surrounded by her family. She was born on September 21, 1945, in Price, Utah to Sidney Rulon Hunt and Martha Gwen Gibbons. Her family later moved to Torrey, Utah where Bonnie spent most of her youth and where she has returned to be buried.

She married Neldon Robert Parsons on November 21, 1964, in the Manti LDS Temple. They had four children and were married more than 25 years before divorcing. She was a home daycare provider for many years and then co-founded Children First, a food program to reimburse daycare providers for serving healthy meals. She attended Salt Lake Community College where she studied early childhood development. She married Raeldon Baudino on June 20, 1998, but they later divorced. After retiring, she served as a Marriage–Sealing Assistant at the Provo City Center Temple.

Bonnie will be remembered for her big heart and her fierce love of her family. She enjoyed sewing and her artistic creations included prom dresses, baby blankets, blessing outfits, Christmas pajama pants, quilts, and beaded calendars. She always had a garden and enjoyed tending to it while scolding Princess, her beloved cocker spaniel, to keep out of the strawberries. Bonnie could often be found sitting in her favorite chair reading a good book, doing a word search, or sewing a calendar while enjoying her favorite Lipton Peach Iced Tea. Her other joys included camping and traveling with family, square dancing, and all things baby.

She is survived by her siblings Dorothy Turner (Darwin, deceased), Lois Brinkerhoff (Emil, deceased), Bessie Stewart (Deloy, deceased), Merrill G. Hunt (Deborah); her children Robert Rulon Parsons, Diane Sorenson (Daniel), Anna Marie Parsons (Barret Bukauskas), and Rebecca Gwen Flitton; 11 grandchildren, and 2.5 great grandchildren.
