Nancy Lee Bonnema Obituary
With heavy hearts and profound gratitude for a life well-lived, we announce the passing of Nancy Bonnema, who departed this world on August 20, 2026. Born on June 19, 1955, in St. Louis, Missouri, to the late Harvey and Helen Nichols, Nancy's life was a testament to love, faith, and unwavering dedication to her family.
Nancy was the beloved wife of Larry Bonnema, with whom she shared an extraordinary journey of love and partnership for over five decades. The couple married on September 8, 1973, and together they built a family rooted in love and mutual respect. Their union was blessed with four wonderful children: Dustin (Lashelle) Bonnema, Pete (Vonja) Bonnema, Teresa (Chad) Howard, and Hunter Bonnema. Nancy's legacy continues through her 17 cherished grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren, and countless foster kids who will carry forward her spirit and values.
A devoted sister, Nancy, is survived by her brother Harvey Nichols and sister Vicki Brown. She was predeceased by her loving parents, Harvey and Helen Nichols, her siblings Patricia Nichols, Mike Nichols, and Stan Nichols, and grandchildren Jakeb Bonnema and Gabriella Bonnema.
Nancy's faith was a cornerstone of her life. She was an active and dedicated member of the Centerpoint Free Will Baptist Church for over 30 years. Her warmth and kindness touched everyone she met, and she was known for her generous spirit and unwavering commitment to helping others.
