Bonnie E. Torczon

Our dear mother, Bonnie E. Torczon, 87, formerly of Platte Center, Nebraska, was given up to God on April 30, 2024. Bonnie, who served the City of Columbus, NE as a healthcare innovator for over 30 years, bringing home health care and social services to the community, as well as a Heart Association leader promoting CPR instructions across Eastern Nebraska, will be missed by all who knew her. Bonnie spent her final days in the Echo Hills Memory Care unit in La Vista, NE to be closer to her daughter Karin. She will always be remembered for spirited card play and wonderfully prepared meals, among her many positive attributes.

Goodwin, (Omaha, NE); her brother, Helge Halvorson, Jr. (Yankton, SD); and their spouses, as well as numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and further extended family in Nebraska, South Dakota, and many other states.
