On Oct. 7th, Bonnie Stine left behind her earthly health struggles to begin a long-anticipated forever life. Bonnie Leigh Kimball was born Sept. 29, 1954, in St. Johns, MI, the daughter of Keith and Ruby (Acre) Kimball. She has been a compassionate and caring registered nurse to patients in Carson City, MI and Naples and Lakeland FL, spending her final 30 years at LRMC as an ENT nurse and stroke registrar. She joyfully and faithfully served God by serving others, using her gifts of encouragement and hospitality to help countless patients, family, friends, and strangers. Bonnie and husband Tim met and quickly fell in love 44 years ago on Marco Island, FL, where they were married Dec. 29, 1979. In addition to her husband, she leaves two daughters, Aimee Elizabeth Stine, and Megan Leigh Stine, both of Lakeland, to help their dad carry on her encouragement ministry. A celebration of her earthly life and home-going will take place at Legacy Christian Church, 901 W. Beacon Rd, Sunday, Oct.15th. Visitation begins at 2:30 pm with the service following at 3:30. The family suggests memorials in her name be made to the American Heart Association. Arrangements through Gentry-Morrison Funeral Home.
