Bonnie Lynne Kuhn, 78, of Kalkaska passed peacefully on Jan 30, 2020 while surrounded by love. Bonnie was born on Nov 28, 1941 in Peoria, IL, to parents, Carl and Geneva (Huxford) Alkire.
She married William Kuhn on Sep 15, 1962, having shared a special place in each other's hearts since the fourth grade in OH. They moved their young family to Kalkaska in 1967.
As we held each other, we remembered the hands that held ours for so many years, hands that wiped tears, stroked foreheads when we were sick, or couldn't sleep, kept us safe, cheered at sporting events, celebrated musicals and concerts, baked birthday cakes and countless sugar cookies and cinnamon rolls, were quick to help, flew joyfully up on the fastest of roller coasters, spent summers camping on Beaver Island and sewed millions of stitches with love. Bill and Bonnie were always a "team," sharing everything with love.
Bonnie will be dearly missed by her husband, Bill Kuhn; daughter, Kimberly (Kuhn) Cerrudo and Christopher Cerrudo; son Dr. Michael Kuhn and Heidi Pramstaller Kuhn; son in law, Jim (late Lisa (Kuhn) Snider); grandchildren, Jamie, Alexis, Mikayla, Ivan, Camryn, Liam, Olivia, and Rowan; brothers, James Alkire, Glen (Marsha) Alkire, and Dennis (Kathy) Alkire; brother in law, Harold (late Sandy Alkire) Stockmaster; sister in law, Irene (Kuhn) Jennings; and dear family members and friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her daughter, Lisa (Kuhn) Snider; and her sister, Sandy (Alkire) Stockmaster.
A celebration of life will be held this spring.
Arrangements are in the care of the Bellaire Chapel of Mortensen Funeral Homes.
