Just learned of Bonnies passing from her classmate (my brother) Mike Simpson. I had a really nice talk with Bonnie a few years back,mainly talking about a niece ,Tawny Mead. I spent so much time over there as a kid,mini bikes,motorcycles and snowmobiles. Keith (earl) and I used to "tear up" the rollatorium. Alot of fun. I'm sure Bonnie will be greatly missed.My condolences to all family and friends. Jamie Simpson

Every since I was young I remember Bonnie.
I always thought she was family. I knew she knew my Uncle Pat Clippinger n Frank Clippinger n was also really close to some of the Masten kids (my cousins)
I remember her at family reunion n other family events.
I remember Lori working at the restaurant on Red arrow (can't remember what the name of it was as it had a few) and going there with my mom Laura Clippinger-Sirrine n my kids. And if I remember Bonnie worked there to?
But she always had a big smile for everyone no matter what. And helped others even if it meant she gave them her last dollar or food.
She was loved by many n will be missed by all. Sending prayers to Lori n Earl and all the grandkids n great grandkids.

My grandma was the most loving and compassionate person. Any chance I had to go to my grandmas I took it. I spent most of my childhood at her house and she never failed to make me smile. I remember always going into her bathroom and putting on her pink lip stick and finally she gave it to me to take home and I probably wore that lipstick every day. She made me toast every morning, and always had her freezer stocked with kid cuisines lol. I always stayed in my sleeping bag and watched movies with her and just loved staying with her. She always took me to see santa and she loved helping me print pictures to put in my photo album that she gave me. She never missed a birthday, she never missed a holiday, I knew I would always get a card from her and I ALWAYS looked forward to those cards. I don’t think I have ever experienced such heart break in my entire life but I know she’s watching over me and I will make her proud. love you so much grandma, always!

Rest in peace Grandma, we weren't blood but we were definitely cut from the same cloth. Thank you for all the love you've shown me ❤️

My mom was one of the kindest people I've ever known, so many people loved her so many people cherished her, she never forgot anyone, she always remembered people on their birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and she always made sure she sent you a card there were a lot of stickers, I know my grandbabies are going to miss getting their annual cards from Grandma, she always said Lori make sure the kids get their cards, It was important to her, she never had much, but she gave much, she would always throw $5 or $10 in there for the kids and for a while she would go by their age and always put enough money in for however old they were, but she never forgot. She was the most giving person I've ever known. I was honored to have her as my mother. I'm going to miss her desperately I'm going to miss our phone calls every day after work I used to call her and chat on the way home from work there were times maybe she was at a doctor's appointment and I missed her, but almost every day we talked, The last Christmas we were together was 2014 she came down and spent that Christmas with us me and her had so much fun tearing that tree apart We were laughing so hard, I said I'm never going to have a real treat again, at the time I had cancer and didn't know it, I'm so grateful to have that Christmas with her, The kids loved having her there, I always tried to talk her into moving to Florida but she just would not leave Michigan not permanently. She liked to come and visit but she didn't like the heat. I'm going to miss my mother More than anyone knows, I told her when she was leaving on her way home to heaven I said I'm going to miss my best friend mom,You've been there for me, We both told her that we were blessed me and my brother to have her as our mother. Mama I miss you fly high.Love your Daughter.
