Grace Bohnen Obituary
Grace was born November 17, 2004, in Wichita, Kansas. She was the oldest of three children born to Todd and Christa (Whitebird) Bohnen. From the age of infant to second grade, Grace's family lived in Bel Aire, Kansas. They moved to Wilson, where she grew up and graduated from Wilson High School in the Class of 23. Grace was a leader among her peers, family and within the community. She was class president for 3 years, cheer captain, and involved in several sports and school activities where she led with passion and tenacity. She had an amazing spirit, contagious smile, and a drive to always be the best version of herself.
Grace loved to be surrounded by her close friends and family. She brought so much joy and laughter everywhere she went. She was a leader, but also felt the need to take care of people, whether it be her brothers, friends, or complete strangers. She'll be remembered for the love that she shared, bravery, and fearlessness to live life to the fullest.
