  Bonnie Marie (West) Zapp, age 81 passed away peacefully on Thursday, October 4, 2012 of complications from cancer. She was born in Hortonville on March 30, 1931, and resided in Appleton, WI. On May 29, 1953, Bonnie married Gerald (Jerry) Zapp and raised five daughters. They loved and nurtured their family and watched it grow to include five son-in-laws and eight grandchildren. After Jerry's death, Bonnie was fortunate enough to find love and happiness again with Fred Mix. Bonnie retired in 1995 from Fox Valley Surgical Associates after a successful career in insurance, billing and bookkeeping. Bonnie enjoyed traveling, playing golf, making ceramics and reading the opinion page. But her true passion in life was people. Bonnie was truly one-of-a-kind. She had one of the most generous personalities you could ever encounter, going out of her way to make everyone else feel welcome and appreciated. Bonnie made a positive impact on the lives of everyone she met. Her spirit has been freed and legacy lives on, and in a very real sense, she lives forever. Bonnie is survived by long-time partner Fred Mix; daughter Julie Zapp (Bruce Barnes), child Nicollet, Minneapolis, MN, daughter Mary Jo (Jeffrey) Williams, children Cate, Claire, Anna and Quinn, Minneapolis, MN, daughter Sarah (William) Sjoquist, child Adam, Minneapolis, MN, daughter Susan (James) Reinl, child Jaclyn, Appleton, WI, son-in-law John (Brenda) Krueger, Mackville, WI, sister Shirley Brouillard, brothers Carl West, Tom West, Harry West and Jerry West, and other living family and friends. Bonnie was preceded in death by her parents Ruby and Peter West; step-mother Helen West; husband Gerald Zapp; infant daughter Debra; daughter Janet Krueger; grandchild Jared Barnes; and brother Richard West.
