Bonita ‘Bonnie’ Lund

HENNEPIN — Bonita “Bonnie” K. Lund, 73, of Hennepin died Tuesday, July 3, 2018, at home surrounded by her family after a battle with lung cancer.

Bonnie was born Oct. 17, 1944, in Jeffersonville, Ind., to Tom and Ella Cauley. She married Richard Lund, the love of her life, on Dec. 22, 1962, in Osceola, Mo. After living in Kansas, California and Indiana, she and Richard settled in Hennepin in 1967 to raise their family.

Bonnie was a homemaker when her children were young and then worked for over 20 years at the North Central Bank in Hennepin. Bonnie was an extremely devoted wife, mother and grandmother, and her greatest joy was spending time with her family and spoiling her grandchildren. She was a friend to all who knew her and surrogate mom to many of her children's friends. To know Bonnie was to love Bonnie.

She will be dearly missed by her husband, Richard of Hennepin; two daughters, Robin (Danny) Morez of Demotte, Ind., and Ronda (Pete) Vacca of Somerset, Ky.; one son, Bob (Janet) Lund of Hennepin; seven grandchildren, Mason Morez, Madison and Abigail Vacca, and Josh, Colby, Megan and Ryan Lund, two stepgrandchildren, Mathew and Sarah Schennum; her mother, Ella Cauley of Hennepin; three sisters, Lee Whitaker, Gail (John) Sullivan and Peggy (Pam) Cauley; and two brothers, Richard (Beverly) Cauley and Steve (Shirley) Cauley.

She was preceded in death by her father; her brother Glen Cauley; and a niece, Kristine Whitaker.

A graveside service will be at 10 a.m. Friday, July 6, at Riverside Cemetery in Hennepin with Elder Dwayne Wilson officiating.

Pallbearers will be Danny Morez, Mason Morez, Gregg Schwarting, John Sullivan, Pete Vacca and Tom Dore.

In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to donor's choice.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to Mary Norton. Mary was Bonnie's hospice nurse for most of this last year. Mary was compassionate, caring and supportive not only to Bonnie, but the entire family. She perfectly balanced her professional duties with the family's specific needs. The family is forever grateful for her kind heart and loving nature.
