Bonnie Wyrick Obituary

Dec. 3, 1927 - May 5, 2010
NILES - Bonnie Louise (Odenback) Wyrick, 82, passed away at Lakeland Hospital on Wednesday, May 5, 2010. Bonnie was born to the late Nicholas and Christina (Lemke) Odenback in St. Joseph, Michigan, on December 3, 1927. On June 18, 1988, at a ceremony in Niles, she married Arnold Wyrick. Bonnie retired from Simplicity Pattern after 22 years of service. She was an avid "American Idol" fan, and if "One Life to Live" or "General Hospital" were on you certainly could find her in front of the television enjoying her "soaps" as well. She also enjoyed going to the Senior Center for exercising and especially for socializing. Preceding Bonnie were her parents and a brother, Steven Odenback. Surviving her are her husband, Arnold; her daughter, Vickie Suher and Robert Clark; two sons, Robert (Beverly) Cain and James Cain and Zeanita Green, all of Indiana; and a stepson, Larry Cain of Ohio. She is also survived by her sister, Grace (Leslie) Ratzloff of Lake Wales, Florida, six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Visitation will be from 5-7 p.m. today, May 6, 2010, in Brown Funeral Home, with services Friday, May 7, 2010, at 2 p.m., also in Brown Funeral Home. Memorials may be made in Bonnie's memory to the American Diabetes Association. Condolences, photos, and memories may be sent to www.BrownFuneralHome. Arrangements have been entrusted to Brown Funeral Home.

On this day we lay our mother to rest, I want to thank all of our family and friends for their support and kindness they have shown our extended family and to Vickie and myself personally. It is with great sadness in our hearts we have to say our final goodbye to you mom, and your many years of kindness and loving compassion you have shown us are a great source of comfort and inspiration for us to carry on with our lives. You will be missed more than words can express, and we will honor and cherish your memories forever more. Rest in peace and may the Lord be with you.
