Bonnie Pronschinske, age 85, of Waumandee, WI, passed away on Wednesday, September 7, 2022, at home after a fight with cancer.
Bonnie was born at home in the township of Montana on July 29, 1937. She was the oldest daughter of Peter and Violet (Kalina) Boltz and grew up helping her parents at the Gas Station and Post office in Waumandee. Bonnie graduated from Arcadia High School and attended the Teachers College for two years. She fell in love with the boy next door, Raymond Pronschinske, and they married on June 5, 1957, at St. Boniface Catholic Church in Waumandee where she was also baptized and confirmed. Ray and Bonnie lived in Waumandee and bought the family home where they raised their seven children.
Bonnie worked outside the home at Kresge’s, then took a job at Asco (Wincraft), before retiring from Shopko after 18 years. In her free time she enjoyed going to Bingo, celebrating birthdays at the Casino with friends and her younger sister Kathy, and getting together with her retired Shopko ladies for lunch. Time spent with friends and family was a highlight. She loved her family and especially loved welcoming the grandkids and watching them grow. Holidays were festive inside and out at Bonnie’s house, she loved to decorate and make Christmas a memorable time for all of us. Every spring was spent looking for the perfect flowers to add to her gardens.
