Arthur Lapin, 85, passed away on March 29, 2026. He was born on December 29, 1940, in Kansas City, Missouri, to Joseph and Esther Lapin.

Bonnie Lapin, 80, passed away on July 23, 2025. She was born on September 1, 1944, in St. Joseph, Missouri, to Irwin and Rosalind Dubinsky.

They are survived by their children, Jeffrey and Andrew; daughter‑in‑law, Crystal; grandchildren, Maia, Jordan, and Jacob; Bonnie’s sister, Joy Rodenberg, and many beloved nieces, nephews, cousins, and a wide circle of family and friends,

Bonnie was preceded in death by her parents and brother. Arthur was preceded in death by his parents and sister.

Bonnie and Arthur embraced grandparenthood with full hearts. They delighted in every milestone, every story, every small triumph of their grandchildren. Even with Bonnie’s fear of flying, they traveled to be present for the moments that mattered. Their love showed up—steadily, joyfully, without hesitation.

Throughout their lives, they each wore many hats:

Bonnie: daughter; sister; wife; mother; grandmother; aunt; athlete in tennis, basketball, and volleyball; card player; t-ball umpire and coach; video‑poker enthusiast; and homemaker.

Arthur: son; brother; husband; father; grandfather; uncle; cousin; swimmer; tennis player; soccer coach; movie enthusiast; and jokester.

Together, they were a constant and grounding presence for their family. Their lessons were lived, not lectured, woven into everyday moments. Bonnie taught the courage of doing what is right, even when it is difficult or lonely. Arthur taught the power of being genuine and friendliness; many said he was among the kindest people they had ever known.

Bonnie often saw the cup as half empty, Arthur as half full. But together, they filled it – balancing one another, strengthening one another, creating a partnership that was both steady and spirited. They lived as a team, and so we honor them as one. On their 50th anniversary, they renewed their vows, a testament to the enduring love they built and shared.

Bonnie and Arthur were known for their warmth, generosity, humor, and unwavering love. Their presence shaped the lives around them, and their absence will be felt deeply. Yet the legacy they created – of family, devotion, and joy – will continue to shine in all who knew them.
