Bonnie Jean Deneen of Hemlock, Michigan,

Beloved wife, mother, grammy, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend passed away at her home with her family by her side on Saturday, November 19, 2022. She was 60 years old. Bonnie Jean Bluemer was born on July 22, 1962, in Saginaw, Michigan, to William Norman and Elenora Marie (Ostrander) Bluemer. She was a 1980 graduate of Hemlock High School. Following graduation, Bonnie attended Saginaw Valley State University, graduating in 1984 with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting. She met the love of her life, Mark H.

In 1985, Bonnie began a 33 year long career with Stevens Van Lines as a revenue accounts manager. She was a faithful member of St. Peter Lutheran Church in Hemlock.
