66, of Cumberland, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, October 1, 2025. She was the beloved wife of Michael L. Caldarella. Born in Providence, she was the daughter of the Homer “Jake” and Florence (Postle) Rhodes. Bonnie was the dear sister of David E. Rhodes and his wife Debborah R. Hartstedt, and the late James M.

Bonnie loved nature,she loved her cats and dogs like children,she loved her family and my family,she loved me.

Bonnie was a hiker,swimmer,cyclist,bird watchet,and amateur weather watcher,and on the board of directors helping one of the founders save parcels of forest,making hiking trails,andsaving ecosystems.

As her brothers told me when we first met, Bonnie is true blue.

There are no goodbyes for us.Wherever you are,you will always be in my heart.
