Bonita Louise Dellinger

Bonita "Bonnie" Dellinger, a lifelong resident of Urbana, Ohio, passed away peacefully

on May 7, 2026. She was the beloved daughter of the late William and Louise Mahan.

Born and raised in Urbana, Bonnie built a life centered around family, community and

love. She was a devoted wife to her late husband, Jim Dellinger, and together they

created a home filled with warmth, support and unwavering love for their family.

As a truly loving mother of three boys, Bonnie was their biggest supporter – never

missing an opportunity to cheer them on in life and sports. And she continued that as

much as possible with her grandchildren, who brought her endless pride and joy.

A woman with the greatest heart, her presence brought warmth and stability to those

around her, and her memory will continue to live on through her children and

grandchildren. The love she showed was nothing short of being fully reciprocated by

anyone who knew her.

She is now united in peace with her beloved husband, Jim, and son, Andy.

Sons, Tony Watson (wife, Andrea) and Josh Dellinger (wife, Kimberly), survive the

mother they loved so dearly. She also has three grandchildren (Madyson Michael, Pryce

Wtason and Rayce Watson) and two great-grandchildren (Octavia and Oria Michael),

whom she absolutely cherished.

Sisters, Sharan Isabelle (husband Frank) and Billie Mahan (husband Tim Biddle),

survive Bonnie, as well.

Viewing and funeral services will be held at Walters & Lewis in Urbana on Thursday,

May 14 th . Viewing will start at 12:30pm, immediately followed by the funeral service at

2pm. Those wishing to honor Bonnie’s memory may send flowers, gifts or make

contributions to her son’s scholarship program, the Andy Dellinger Memorial

Scholarship (held at Peoples Savings Bank in Urbana, OH).

The family deeply appreciates the love, prayers and support during this difficult time.
