Bonnie Jean Schroeder

The Lord called Bonnie J. Schroeder (Houk) home at the age of 80, on August 18th, 2023.

Bonnie married Richard T. Schroeder on May 9th, 1964. Together they had four children. Laura Higgins. Patrick Schroeder (Tamara), Michelle Fortmann, and Brenda Ulik (Paul). A proud grandparent of 13 and great grandparent of 10 with another one on the way. She will be missed by her brother Lester Houk (Anne), brother Joe Houk (Arlene), sister Donna Zielke, sister Vera Dowling, and sister Pattie Muroco (Greg). The wonderful friends and extended family are too numerous to mention, but their love and support are appreciated.

Bonnie enjoyed life to the fullest. She always enjoyed going out to Las Vegas with family and friends. When she wasn't out and about she enjoyed playing gambling games on her computer, playing along with TV game shows, watching the Packers especially when Brett Favre was still playing, and checking out a weekend Nascar Race. Anyone who knew Bonnie will always remember her over the top appreciation for the king of rock n roll – Elvis

.

Bonnie was a nurse at Oconomowoc Memorial Hospital for most of her career in the pediatric department as she loved taking care of children. She went on to work for Doctors Martinelli & Janowok for many years until retirement.

She was preceded in death by her daughter Laura Higgins, her parents Charles and Florence Houk, her sister Sharon Trupke, and her brother-in laws Digger Zielke and Tom Dowling.
