Bonnie R. Zimmerman, a loving, supportive, and kind-hearted matriarch, known for her sweet and nurturing nature, passed away on December 7, 2023. Born on June 26, 1945, in Lincoln, Nebraska, Bonnie lived her life in the very essence of love and care. She was a beacon of unwavering support and warmth to her family and friends, and her unparalleled love for her children and grandchildren was a testament to her character. In the words of George Eliot, “What greater thing is there for human souls than to feel that they are joined for life – to be with each other in silent unspeakable memories.” Bonnie’s memory will continue to be a comforting presence in the lives of those she loved.

Bonnie embraced her role as a homemaker with an unmatched passion. Her home was not just a place, but a feeling of warmth and acceptance that welcomed many children from family and friends. Bonnie’s greatest joy was her grandchildren – Maggie and Jacob Zimmerman, and Morgan, Caleb, and Hunter Havlovic – whom she loved and nurtured with all her heart. Their laughter and happiness were the music to her soul, and she cherished every moment spent with them. It was in these small, precious moments that Bonnie found her purpose and fulfillment.

Bonnie is survived by her children and their spouses; Teresa (Brad) Havlovic, Deborah Kurtz, David (Stacy) Zimmerman, and Nancy Zimmerman. She is also survived by her twin sister Connie Ameri, sister Dorothy Jane, and brothers Bill and Mickey Fulmer. Bonnie was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Larry Zimmerman, and her parents Howard and Lillian Fulmer.
