Bonnie Ruvio (Sneathen)

Village of Depew, passed away peacefully on November 10, 2026 at age 78.

Born in Pittsburgh, PA to the late Earl and Helen Sneathen, Bonnie was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend whose warmth and hospitality touched everyone who knew her. In 1977, she married the love of her life, Salvatore Ruvio, and together they shared over 43 wonderful years of marriage until his passing on March 16, 2021.

Bonnie dedicated her life to her family and opened her heart and home to countless others. She was fondly known as a second mom to many of her children’s friends growing up, always offering a listening ear, a warm meal, and unconditional support. During the summer months, she delighted in bringing family and friends together for memorable backyard gatherings in her Fairport, NY home, affectionately nicknamed “Ruvio Resort.”

She is survived by her loving children, Robert (Cheryl) Kearney, Susie (Greg) Eason, Michael (Sarah) Ruvio, and Russell (Stacy) Ruvio; her cherished grandchildren, Gillian (Nick) Kearney, Salvatore Ruvio, Samantha Ruvio, and Nicholas Ruvio; her sister-in-law, Nellie Fiorica; and many beloved nieces and nephews.

In addition to her husband, Salvatore, Bonnie was preceded in death by her precious grandson, Aidan Kearney; her parents, Earl and Helen Sneathen; her brother, Richard (Barbara) Sneathen; her sisters-in-law, Lucy “Babe” (Hank) Staffieri and Carolyn Testa; and her brother-in-law, Peter Fiorica.

In accordance with her wishes, there will be no prior visitation. Her Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Wednesday (November 18th) 10:00 AM at St. Charles Borromeo Church, 3003 Dewey Avenue, Rochester, NY 14616. Entombment will follow at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery.
