BONNIE KUNKEL

1970 – 2016

Bonnie Kunkel passed away on June 29, 2016.  She was born January 24, 1970 to Phil Kunkel and Ruth Rytting Kunkel.

Bonnie was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and loved being involved in many activities associated with the church.

Anyone who met Bonnie knew what a special person she was.  Bonnie loved watching professional ice skating her entire life.  She enjoyed country music; Branson, MO; and particularly the Oak Ridge Boys.  She loved animals and especially her cats, Tigger and Beep.  Bonnie enjoyed the simple things in life like going out to eat, soda, and Hershey’s kisses.  More than outings, Bonnie loved her family and friends.  She always wanted to be in on the latest changes and events so that she could be a part of celebrating with those she loved.

She might have lived a simple life, but the lessons we learned from her were far from simple.  Her life on earth was not always easy--we’re so happy about the life she is about to live.  She has been loved, and she will be missed by many.

She is survived by her sister, Michelle Child (Craig); her nieces and nephews: Amy Stringfellow (Peter), Colby Child, Laura Child, and Jason Child; and the Dale and Irene Janes family (her second family).

She is preceded in death by her parents and her brother, Robbie Potter.

Special thanks to Scott Richins at Davis Behavioral Health and Dr. Mark Christian at Cope Family Medicine for their compassionate care.

Funeral services will be held on Thursday, July 7, 2016 at 11:00 am at the Lindquist Mortuary in Bountiful.  Friends may visit with the family prior to the services from 9:45-10:45 am.
