On April 17, 2024, our beloved mother, grandmother and sister, Bonnie Jean Fyle, sadly passed away due to stage 4 COPD.
Bonnie was born on Sept. 26, 1950 in Duluth, Minn. to Geraldine and Wallace Walgren. She attended Hermantown High School in Duluth and after spending the majority of her younger years in this town, she decided to begin a new journey and moved to California with her two children, Kelly and Bryon Fyle. In 1980, little Kimberlee Fyle was born. Bonnie truly loved and admired her mother Geri Jones, and always felt she needed to be close to her. After spending nearly a decade in the Bay Area, she relocated to the small town of Mad River (population of 35, at the time). Away from the chaotic urban lifestyle, to an area surrounded by the beauty and serenity of nature, is where she decided to raise her three children.
Anyone who knew Bonnie knew she believed in God and that she was a lifetime Minnesota Vikings fan. Some would say she was the 12th player for this team! Furthermore, she was also blessed enough to live through the many eras of music and witnessed its evolution, enjoying the sounds of great artists such as The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Lynyrd Skynyrd and many more great albums. She enjoyed all novels and movies created by Stephen King. She also enjoyed playing Yahtzee and watching game shows. Bonnie was a funny, beautiful woman with a heart of gold. The things she didn’t like: The Green Bay Packers and frogs.
Bonnie Jean Fyle is survived by her three children: Kelly Heiser, Bryon Fyle and Kimberlee Fyle, along with her grandchildren Cody Turner, Alexis Heiser, Trinity Fyle as well as her two great-grandkids, Ariana and Lincoln Turner. In addition, she is survived by her siblings: Wally Walgren, Steve Walgren, Wana Jones, Donna Jones and Joe Jones. She will be missed.
Join us for her celebration of life ceremony on Saturday, June 8, 2024 at 1 p.m. at the Mad River Burger Bar.
