Southborough – Bonnie (Lungwitz) Pedersen, 73, of Southborough, died unexpectedly Tuesday, May 31, 2016 after being stricken ill at home. She was the beloved wife of G. Mark Pedersen for the past 54 years.
Bonnie was the daughter of the late Donald J. and Lois (Daily) Lungwitz, and grew up in Haiti. She attended schools in Haiti, Jamaica, and Switzerland prior to attending Pine Manor Jr. College in Chestnut Hill, where she met her husband, Mark, on a blind date.
