Barbara J. “Bonnie” (Barta) Ledoux, 77, longtime Newtown resident and beloved wife of the late William D. Ledoux, passed away peacefully on June 24, at the Saint John Paul II Center in Danbury.

Bonnie, as most knew her, was born February 4, 1943, in Bridgeport to Francis J. and Mary (Paradowski) Barta. She was a graduate of Warren Harding High School.

Bonnie moved to Newtown in 1970. She was very active in her community as a longtime volunteer with the Sandy Hook PTA, Newtown Middle School PTA, the Girl Scouts, and Newtown Strikers Soccer Club, to name just a few. She helped organize many of the first Jolly Green Giant fairs at Sandy Hook Elementary School and ran the Polish food booth at Newtown Middle School Food Fairs for several years.

Bonnie was a longtime employee at Grolier Inc as a supervisor in the customer service department, then later at Lorad Medical Systems as a purchasing agent and associate buyer.

Bonnie leaves behind several children and their spouses, Jeannine Sloan of Sandy Hook, Laurie and Michael Wright of Sandy Hook, Jonathan Ledoux and Sheila Harrington of Lowell, Mass., and William Ledoux, Jr, and Eurica Chang of Brookfield. She also leaves a brother, Francis J. Barta III of Wallingford; six grandchildren, Mary Schoedel, Amanda Sloan, Jerusha Wright, Benjamin Ledoux, Cody Ledoux, and Abbie Ledoux; and one great-granddaughter, Autumn Fawcett.
