Michelle Bonner

Michelle Lynn Lemeron Bonner, 67, of Traverse City, Michigan, passed away on July, 25, 2025, leaving behind cherished memories and a legacy of warmth and joy. Born on December 1, 1957, in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Michelle grew up surrounded by love, the vibrant energy of her siblings, Karen (Randy) Willis, Kathy Price, Steven Lemeron, Dawn (Al) Peplinski, and Diane (Steve) Denoyer and the gentle influence of her parents Donald and Leilani Lemeron, who preceded her in death along with her brother-in-law Mike Price.

Michelle’s life was rich with simple pleasures that brought her great happiness. She enjoyed gardening and found peace crocheting and listening to the rain, especially when her treasured windchimes would sing along softly. Michelle was a proud and passionate fan of the Detroit Tigers, rarely missing a game, but her sports loyalty didn’t stop there. Michelle was also a dedicated “cheesehead” supporter of the Green Bay Packers.

She found immense happiness in following the adventures of her nieces and nephews delighting in every story. Though Michelle never had children of her own she always referred to her two macaws Muffin and Mickey as her “kids”. She also enjoyed rocking out to the music of the 80s and 90s, drinking an ice cold coke, riding around looking at Christmas lights and paling around with her good friend Doug.

Cremation has already taken place, and the family will have a private gathering at a later date.
