Bonnie Jean Roher

May 20, 1954 - June 5, 2019

Bonnie Jean (Warner) Roher of Charlotte, an extremely devoted wife and mother, passed away June 5, 2019 at the age of 65 as a result of ALS. Born May 20, 1954 in Brighton, Michigan to Dayl and Marilyn (Allis) Warner, she was one of three children in the family. Bonnie met that man who would become her husband of 43 years, Jim, at Lansing Everett High School and graduated in 1972. Bonnie’s nickname was “Snoopy” and Jim was “Bear” and they met in high school when Jim was on crutches and a beautiful young lady came up and scooped his books from his hands and carried them for him, and from then on were sweethearts. They were married on June 14, 1975, and had two sons together, the pride of Bonnie’s life. She loved being a mother, and her greatest accomplishment was taking care of their son, Jimmy, who required continuous care throughout his entire life. To do this, she laid down all of her personal aspirations and goals. Following Jimmy’s death in 2001 she worked as a CNA at Eaton County Medical Care Facility, and she had also worked at Michigan National Bank before having children. Their son Jason married a wonderful young woman, Andrea, and together they had two children, Noah and Nicholas, Bonnie’s beloved grandchildren that she loved to spoil. She was a very kind and compassionate person who left a legacy of serving others. Bonnie is survived by her husband, Jim; son, Jason and his wife, Andrea; grandsons, Noah and Nicholas; her mother, Marilyn Warner; brother, Richard Warner; sister, Connie Warner; and several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her son, Jimmy; her father, Dayl Warner; and her in-laws, Jim and Thelma Roher. Visitation will be Friday, June 7, 2019 from 6-8:00 PM at Pray Funeral Home in Charlotte. The funeral service will also be held at Pray Funeral Home on Saturday, June 8, 12 noon, with Pastor Lori O’Dea officiating. Interment will be at Millerburg Cemetery in Charlotte.
