Bonnie Lynn (Reglin) Grawien age 63, of Lena & Sheboygan passed away Thursday
evening July 18, 2019 at St. Mary’s Hospital in Green Bay.
She was born March 2, 1956 in Sheboygan to Eugene and Elda (Zimmerman)
Reglin.
Bonnie would like to let you know that her work here is done. She won her final
auction and got the best reward. Her final wish of going without suffering was
granted as she slipped quickly on to her new adventure. New adventures of making
cheesy fudge, pickled pears, or repurposing materials before it was considered
fashionable, await. May she have numerous opportunities to cook for family and
friends, garden while the sun shines down on her or just sit and watch a little tv if
she wants. Her husband Bill, of almost half a century, and her two daughters,
Alanza (Steve) and Jenniffer (Brian), will have to fumble through the baking
without her expert guidance, now that her mission here is complete.
Her grandchildren: Cody (Carley), Tabitha (Sam), Teanna, Marcus (Jordan), William,
Anakin and Jillianne better have taken enough notes during special “grandparent
time” to help all of us carry her recipes and love forward to the next generation. Her
seven great-grandchildren: Finley, Henry, Bailey, Aiden, Jayce, Jackson and Byron
will need to listen to us carefully as we share the stories, as there wasn’t enough
time to teach them all of the love, generosity, humorous stories and antics that
Bonnie was known for. All involved know she will be there with a tally sheet of
failed wrongdoings and our favorite treat waiting for them when we join her in the
beyond.
Her husband wants to let her know that she was loved beyond words and that he
will be here to help carry on her mission until it is his time to join her. Her
daughters want to tell her that she should be proud that she raised two strong,
caring and outspoken women that would take charge of any situation given to
them, just like their mother. We will remember her smile, her warmth, her love of
life, family and friends, but also animals, big, small, domestic or wild, many of
whom became friends or were taken care of until the rainbow bridge called their
name. She worked very hard all her life, up until the very end, even if it was
cooking, cleaning, gardening or working on the next crazy craft project. She made a
difference in the lives of many. We invite you to join us and celebrate together.
A Celebration of Bonnie’s life will take place at 11:00 a.m. Saturday, July 27 th , 2019,
at the Olson Funeral Home & Cremation Service, 1132 Superior Avenue,
Sheboygan. The Rev. Lorri Steward will officiate. Relatives and friends are welcome
at the funeral home from 9:00 a.m. until the time of service. Inurnment will take
place at a later date.
A memorial fund has been established in Bonnie’s name.
The Olson Funeral Home & Cremation Service has been entrusted with Bonnie’s
arrangements.
