Bonita J. “Bonnie” Heyns, age 78, of Kenosha, passed away on Monday, February 28, 2022.
She was born in Milwaukee, Wi on September 4, 1943, the daughter of the late Herbert and Jean (nee: Hille) Kley.
On October 21, 1961, in Las Vegas, NV, she was united in marriage to William N. Heyns. They enjoyed many happy hours boating on their Chris Craft. Sadly, Bill preceded her in death on September 14, 2011.
Bonnie was employed as a nurse with Kenosha Memorial Hospital for over 40 years and had also been employed with Lincoln Lutheran and Westview Nursing Homes in Racine.
Her joy in life was found spending time with her dogs, especially her Scottish Terriors (all named Dewey). She also enjoyed her yard work, and “nights on the town”.
She is survived by her many friends and their families, including Donna Rasch and Isiah Glass, Kathy and Cliff Anderson, Jean VanCaster, and her loving canine companion, Kody.
Jackie Sturm Davit says
Bonnie and I met at Mary D. Bradford High School in 1958. We sang in choirs together throughout our years there. She was a wonderful singer and sang “bass” in a quartet along with Kathy Brugger, Karol Nelson Rehm and me. I also recall admiring Bonnie’s wonderful swimming ability in Trident Water Ballet.
Following high school, Bonnie and I were student nurse roommates for about 1.5 years at Wesley Hospital School of Nursing in Chicago. We formed another quartet while there.
My sympathy to Bonnie’s close friends – she was fortunate to have you in her life.
