Bonnie Gulan Obituary

Bonnie M. Gulan. The world lost a very special person when Bonnie ''the Story Lady'' went to be at Home with Jesus on Sunday, Dec. 14, 2003 at the age of 81, after a short illness. A loving mother, wife, accomplished author, songwriter, inventress and creator/originator of the famous Christmas Tree Story House Museum, she was recently inducted into ''Who's Who In America, The World, and Among Women In America''. Bonnie was loved by all. Above all of her accomplishments, though, was her search for the Truth and the Love of Jesus. She instilled her faith and love of our Savior in all she came in contact with and will always be remembered for. Bonnie, of Saukville, WI, was adopted (born) in Kenosha, WI on Feb. 27, 1922 to Liz and Matt Thomas, who gave her insight into many things in her life that made her a strong and loving woman. She has now joined her husband, Ed; sons, John and David; and many dear friends and relatives in her Heavenly Home. Bonnie is survived by her sons, Mike and Bob; daughter, Kathy; goddaughter, Chrissy; granddaughter, Pammy; and many loving friends and relatives. Graveside services will be held on Saturday, Dec. 20, 2003, 2 p.m. at Union Cemetery in Saukville. Bonnie was a Miracle and inspiration to many people, but most of all to her loving family. For as her poem/song ''Miracles'' states: Miracles Are Miracles To Show Us God's Love. Eernisse Funeral Home, 262-284-2601, Port Washington, WI. www.eernissefuneralhome.com.
