Bonnie Jean Kiolbassa passed on August 26, 2019. We are blessed to have had her with us for 92 years. She lived a full life in selfless service to others. For many years, she struggled with depression. In her loving memory, and in lieu of flowers, we are asking for donations to the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation. 100% of every dollar donated is invested in research grants that aid scientists who are studying metal illnesses like depression.

Thank you for your generous donation to this important cause in Bonnie's name.

Matt & Mark Kiolbassa
