Bonnie Mae Hertler, age 71, born on January 5, 1946, the only child of Francis and Lois (Ahrens) Heckaman, died June 17, 2017.

Bonnie loved her family the very most. Whether it was attending her granddaughter’s sporting events, babysitting, taking them on shopping sprees or picking them up on Friday night and keeping them until church on Sunday, spoiling them was all that mattered. Everyone will, but her granddaughters will especially miss her unequivocal love for them.
