On the morning of Dec. 8, 2022, Debbie passed peacefully away from us at Autumn Pointe Assisted Living. She lived a full life and was loved by all. Debbie was born on April 16, 1946, and graduated from Omaha Benson High School in 1964. On Oct. 2, 1965, she married Donald “Don” Bonacci. For many years, they owned and operated the North Omaha Airport, where they lived and raised their children. After retirement, Debbie and Don moved to Bella Vista, Arkansas. Debbie was an active volunteer in both the Omaha and Bella Vista communities. She is predeceased by her parents, Kathryn “Kay” and Ernest “Ernie” Petersen, her husband Don, and her two oldest children, Jimmy and Libby (Norris). She is survived by her youngest son, Mike, his wife, Becky, her son in law David Norris, and her grandchildren, Colby (Norris), Dylan (Norris), Ben (Bonacci) and Nate (Bonacci). Continuing her dedication to acts of service, Debbie has donated her body to the University of Nebraska Medical Center in the interest of science. No service will be held at this time. Memorials can be sent to the Alzheimer’s Association or the Fort Calhoun Fire and Rescue Squad.
