Bonnie J. Ruplinger

Bonnie J. Ruplinger, 64, of the town of Wayne, passed away on November 21, 2025, at Kathy Hospice in the town of Polk.

Bonnie entered the world on February 24, 1961, in West Bend, the cherished daughter of the late Richard and Lorraine (Westerman) Boden. On April 7, 1984, she pledged her love to Robert “Murph” Ruplinger in a joyful ceremony at St. Bridget’s Catholic Church in Wayne.

Her hands were happiest when dusted with flour or soil—whether baking sweet treats, tending flower beds, or nurturing her garden. Bonnie found peace and joy at the family cabin in Crivitz, a place that became her sanctuary.

For 41 years, she greeted the community from behind the counter at BMO Harris Bank in West Bend, where she became more than a teller—she was a friend, a confidante, and a familiar smile that brightened countless days.

Bonnie never met a stranger. If she didn’t know you, she made sure she did by the time you left. Her gift for conversation and genuine warmth drew people in, and in return, she was deeply loved by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Those Bonnie leaves behind to cherish her memory include her husband, Murph; two children, Kyle Ruplinger and Ryan Ruplinger (Kayla Toivonen); her siblings, Jeff (Kris) Boden, Terry Boden, and Mark (Nancy) Boden; her sisters-in-law, Eileen German (Mike Hoeft) and Mary (Chuck) Boegel; other relatives and friends.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her grandparents and other relatives.
