Renee B. Bonelli passed away on July 14, 2025, at the age of 89.

Born March 6, 1936, to Vernon and Ada Bissenger in Montpelier, Idaho. Renee and her three siblings, Keith, Gwen McCutchan, and Melvin moved to Salt Lake City, and eventually moved to Tooele.

While in Tooele High School she met and married her lifetime companion, Edwin Jack Bonelli. They became eternal life companions when their marriage was solemnized in the Jordan River Temple in 2006.

Renee and Jack have four children, Karen (Leon) Jensen, Mary (Craig) Simonds, Jim (Sherri, LaDawn) Bonelli, and Vern (Debbie) Bonelli.

Mom's life was filled with love for her 12 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren, 4 great-great-grandchildren, her dear sister Gwen, and friend Myra McDonald.

Mom lived a full life with many adventures and fun events. She especially loved her Salt Lake Temple work and always enjoyed her many church callings. Plus, years of employment at Tooele Junior High School.

She was preceded in death by her husband Jack, her son Jim, brothers Keith and Melvin, and two grandchildren.

A viewing will be held on Monday, July 28, 2025, from 9-10:45am, at Tate Mortuary, 110 South Main Street, Tooele, Utah. A graveside service will immediately follow at 11am, at Tooele City Cemetery, 361 South 100 East, Tooele, Utah.

Mom wanted a short obituary. She lived, she died, car for sale, low mileage.
