Bonnie Littlefield
September 23, 1956 — May 26, 2023
Bonnie Mattis Littlefield, a lifelong resident of Stamford, CT, and a beloved daughter, aunt, cousin and friend to many, passed away at Stamford Hospital on Friday, May 26, 2023, surrounded by her family, following a courageously fought battle with cancer.
Born in Stamford on September 23, 1956, Bonnie was one of three daughters born to Richard G. Mattis and the late Anna (Nancy) Tiano Mattis. She was just 66 years old at the time of her passing.
Bonnie was born and raised in Stamford and was a graduate of Stamford Catholic High School. She went on to work at Hourglass Cleaners, The Italian Center, and most recently, had just retired following a 25+ year career as the Catering Manager of The Waters Edge at Giovanni’s.
Bonnie was a beautiful person inside and out. Her smile was so stunning that it would light up the whole room and her unmistakable laugh was contagious – leaving everyone else laughing even at the most inappropriate times! She cared so deeply for the people around her, and always supported and protected her family and closest friends. She was so kind and compassionate. Bonnie made an impact on so many lives. She will be forever missed and will live on in the heart of those who knew and loved her.
Bonnie is survived by her father, Richard Mattis, her nephews; Steven Tyler and husband Michael Passe, Jason Coperine and Mathew Simmons, her niece, Angel Simmons, great nephews and niece, Alden, Preston and Layla, and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and close friends.
In addition to her mother, Anna (Nancy) Tiano Mattis, Bonnie is predeceased by her twin sisters, Diane Mattis Mazzone and Donna Mattis Simmons.
A memorial service for Bonnie will be held at a later date.
