Vonnie’s siblings are Richard Klingensmith and Donna Powell (deceased). Vonnie is survived by fourteen grandchildren and 11 — soon to be 12 — great-grandchildren.

Vonnie had the hardest job in the world, she raised 8 wonderful kids. She was proud of every one of her children. I remember her touch, always soft and warm. She balanced her home with love and kindness.

A memorial service is being planned for next summer.
