CRA Longtime Member Bonnie Fry Searl Passes Away

It is with great sadness that we report the loss of a good friend, longtime CRA Member and colleague in the roofing industry.  

Our deepest sympathy & condolences to her family, friends and former associates and co-workers.

Bonnie Searl (67) passed away on January 10.

Bonnie was born in California but was a Coloradan through and through. She completed her education at Thomas Jefferson High School in Denver and Red Rocks Community College before relocating to the mountains.

Bonnie was a long-time resident of Silverthorne Colorado where she began her career in the building industry at Bighorn Materials. That lead to her career with Grace/GCP. Bonnie had 22 years of well-respected service with GCP and was viewed as a leader in the industry and a “true” partner to all of her business contacts. Bonnie was an active member in the CRA - never missing the annual Trade Show - and often seen at membership lunches over the years. Although Bonnie battled some challenging health issues in the last few years, she continued her career with professionalism and enthusiasm.

In addition to her mother and stepfather, Orlena and Ernie McDonald of Littleton, Colorado, she is survived by her brother Howard Fry and loving partner and husband Ty Searl; step-daughter Barb Clausen and grandchildren, Addison (14), Colton (11), and Raelyn (8); step-son Benjamin Searl and wife Brooke, grandsons, Theodore (3) and Caden (6mo.) 

Rest In Peace Bonnie.
