Bonnie Lynn Templin

Bonnie Lynn Templin died on March 21, 2019, in Walla Walla, WA. She was 69 years old.

Bonnie was born on March 7, 1950, in Spokane, WA, and was raised in Ritzville, WA. She was the youngest child born to Lois (Bundy) Templin and Delbert Templin.

Bonnie attended school in Ritzville and enjoyed history and art classes. She was a member of the Emanuel Lutheran Church. She would also attend the Zion Church with friends from Rose Garden.

When Bonnie made her move to Rose Garden in Ritzville, her personality really began to shine. Her love for people and music became a high light. After her parents passed away in 2013, she moved to Walla Walla and lived at Pioneer House and then at Brookdale in College Place, WA.

Bonnie made friends easily and loved to share her faith. She touched the lives of many and was an inspiration to all that met her. Even as she battled a very painful and aggressive cancer, she thought of God and others first.

Music continually played in Bonnie's room unless she was watching an old movie. Her Bible was always by her side and was well worn.

Bonnie liked to be teased and to tease back. She never complained or had a harsh word for anyone as she always looked for the good in others. She will be deeply missed and loved forever.

Bonnie was preceded in death by her parents. She is survived by her brother Gary (Vernette) Templin of Ritzville, and sisters, Sharon (Bob) Loeffler of Redmond and Diane (Warren) Johnson of Walla Walla, as well as seven nieces and nephews and nine great nieces and nephews.

A graveside service will be held at the Lutheran Cemetery in Ritzville on June 1, 2019, at 1 p.m.
