Obituary

Bonita “Bonnie” Fixler, nee Wepman, 81; happily married for 57 years to her beloved husband, the late Marc Fixler; devoted mother of Jason (Jenny Glick) Fixler and Debra (Kevin) Kulinski; proud grandma of Alisa and Noah Fixler and Chase Kulinski; treasured sister of the late Lael Whitney, Bette Sue (Howard) Rittman, and Naomi (the late Marc) Shaberman; loving aunt of many nieces and nephews. Bonnie was a cherished elementary school teacher for over 30 years and taught kindergarten at Betsy Ross School in Prospect Heights. Even after she retired she continued to substitute teach preschool children at the Buffalo Grove Jewish Community Center. Her teaching went on even further when she volunteered at a local nursing home, helping every week with Shabbat services and singing Hebrew songs with the residents. Her love of singing, teaching and caring deeply for her family and friends will always be remembered.

Aunt Aggie and my dad were siblings. As such my mom and Aunt Aggie had a sister relationship. Consequently, I spent a great deal of time at their house in Grand Rapids, summers in Grand Haven in neighboring trailers and then in shared cottages. I always looked up to Bonnie. Perhaps my journey into education at MSU was due to her influence. I always enjoyed seeing her and Marc when visiting Florida. May her memory be a blessing.

I am so sorry learning about Bonnie. I spent so much time with the twins growing up in Grand Rapids with them. My Aunt Aggie, their mom, was the best cook! I remember playing with their dolls….I saw them when they visited Florida in the winter….may Bonnie rest in peace.

The Wepmans named their twin daughters Bonita and Naomi. But, to the world, the two were always known as Bonnie and Nonnie. (Rhyming names are cute!) Now, Bonnie and Nonnie are together in spirit, along with their husbands, Marc and Marc. Yes, both married fine gentlemen named Marc! Coincidence? Fate? Or part of a divine plan?
