Obituary for Bonnie J. Baca (Hughes)
Bonnie J. Baca (nee Hughes), age 75, of Bethlehem, PA, formerly of Minnesota, NYC and Maryland, died Tuesday, May 14, 2019 surrounded by family in St. Luke’s Hospital, PA.
Bonnie was one classy lady. Many admired her for her intelligence, grace, wit and love of all things beautiful. She will be missed for her artful guidance in home and landscape design and improvements, travel planning, entertainment and fashion savvy.

Hughes (Tina) and Lesley Hughes-Seamans (Steve Seamans), all of MN; nieces, great nephews and great niece (another on the way); and many loving cousins. Predeceased by parents, Gordon W.
