Bonnie Eileen Radtke, 81, of Sheboygan passed away March 29, 2026, at St. Vincent Hospital, Green Bay, surrounded by family.
She was born April 19, 1944, in Sheboygan, the only daughter of Robert and Mildred (Martin) Rasch. She graduated from Sheboygan North High School in 1962. On Jan. 26, 1963, she married the love of her life Thomas P. Radtke at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church.
As a devoted wife and homemaker, Bonnie poured her heart into turning the family’s 15th Street house into a loving home for the couple’s three sons. With an incredible eye for decor, each passing season and holiday was an opportunity to showcase her talents, making each day new and special.
She loved cooking and baking and relished hosting holiday meals, where there was always space for one more. Her baked beans and German potato salad were standard requests for parties and extended family gatherings. However, Bonnie’s true superpower was being able to pull together an amazing meal at a moment’s notice – complete with fresh-baked cookies or bars.
As an avid reader – sometimes reading several at the same time – Bonnie’s book collection was unrivaled. You’d almost always find her sitting in the sun with a book. She enjoyed family vacations, trips to Las Vegas with Tom, and spoiling her grandchildren,
Bonnie was preceded in death by her mother and father. She is survived by her loving husband of 63 years, Tom; three children, Todd (Karen) Radtke, Mark (Robin) Radtke, and Randy Radtke; and four grandchildren, Jake Radtke, Ben Radtke, Joe Radtke, and Tirion Radtke.
A private interment will be held on Wednesday, April 1, 2026 at Immaculate Conception Cemetery.
