POYNETTE - Bonnie L. Zeman, age 76, peacefully passed away with her family by her side on Sunday, August 11, 2024, at Stoughton Hospital. While we grieve the loss of her physical presence, we take comfort in knowing that she has found eternal peace in the loving embrace of Jesus Christ.

Bonnie was born on October 3, 1947, in Waukesha, WI, the daughter of Wilbert and Vieda (Tyson) Turner. One of nine children, Bonnie was raised in Fort Atkinson and graduated in 1965. On March 23,1983, Bonnie married John Zeman.

Bonnie will be remembered for her unwavering faith, fun-loving spirit, and the profound impact that she had on those around her. She loved music and singing but cherished most the moments spent with family and friends. Bonnie’s life had three main focuses: Jesus, health and wellness, and family. If you crossed her path, you were in for a lively lecture on one of these topics-whether you were ready for it or not. No one was safe from her impromptu wellness seminars or her enthusiastic sermons about Jesus Christ and His saving grace, which she had experienced firsthand.

Bonnie and John prayed for many people every morning before starting their day, being ordained in 2010, Bonnie embarked on a new adventure in ministry at the Portage and Baraboo jails and sustained a dedicated phone prayer ministry for many years fervently ministering with friends for the needs of many.

In addition to John her husband, survivors include her daughters and sons in love (Bonnie’s term) Lori (Mark) Woolever, and Juli (Ken) Krivitz; her grandchildren, Mitchell (Alyssa) Woolever and Brooke (Jacob) Aitken; her great-grandchildren Kennedy and Shephard Woolever and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents; seven brothers, Gordon (Rose), Wilbert “Dewey” (Nancy) Jr., Arthur (Chris), Robert (Chris), Daryl (Arthur), Grant (Sandy,) and infant brother, James; her sister, Lois (William) Jones, and Bonnie’s previous husband and father of her daughters, Steven O Fossum.

Anyone who knew Bonnie knew she loved to dress well. If there was a possibility that a hat would go with her outfit, she would have it! In honor of Bonnie please wear your favorite hat to the Celebration.

A Celebration of Bonnie’s life will be held at PRAIRIE VALLEY CHURCH, 923 Development Dr. on Saturday, Sept. 7 at 11 am. Visitation will be held Friday, Sept. 6, 2024, from 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm at the church, and also on Saturday from 10 am until the time of service.
