Memorial

Bonnie went to Heaven Monday March 18, 2019.  Services will be at 10am at Immaculate Conception Church on Thursday, March 21, 2019.

Bonnie is survived by her husband Pat; siblings, Roger Inger and Sue Kainz; brother-in-law, Neal Baty, husband of Judy Inger (deceased).

Bonnie graduated from Linn-Mar a member of the National Honor Society.  She worked at Rockwell 2 years before attending nursing school at Mercy Hospital.  After 4 years at Mercy she spent the rest of her career at St. Luke’s ER where she also was a flight nurse.  Bonnie was the ‘ultimate nurse’, the go-to for the right answer, for her example in her care of patients – she was forever the patient-advocate.  Bonnie would meet former patients in stores and restaurants where they’d again thank her for her care.  One family of a former patient sends a Christmas card every year still after so many years.
  
In 1990’s Bonnie was presented with the Smulekoff Award for Excellence; she was a treasure.  Bonnie was very proud of being a nurse.    

She liked Hawkeyes & Cyclone sports, camping, her cats and more than anything, her family.
