Bonnie Mae Harms
BONNIE MAE HARMS
Cedar Rapids
Bonnie Mae Harms, 76, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, was born on April 19, 1945, and jumped into Jesus arms on Friday, March 4, 2022, after a brief illness.
This spunky, sassy, unfiltered, slightly stubborn, full of life woman had a huge heart. She enjoyed picking on people and making them laugh. She loved going to casinos, playing bingo, and cooking- she could make a mean burger. If you were one of her favorite pizza ranch customers, you better believe she was going to give you a twist on your ear.
Bonnie leaves behind her daughter, Darla (Chad) Klinkenborg of Cedar Rapids, Iowa; her treasured grandson, Derek (Amanda) Klinkenborg; and great-grandson, Bradley, all of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Her brother, Bob (Judee) Burmahl of Wyoming, Iowa; nieces, nephews and so many dear friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Hank and Alverda Burmahl of Maquoketa, Iowa; her brother, George Burmahl of Maquoketa, Iowa; and sisters, Margaret Davidson and Arla Edwards of Maquoketa, Iowa.
A Celebration of Life will be held to celebrate this wonderful lady. She insists we remember all the happy fun times spent together.
