Vonnie Ovnicek died on Monday, Sept. 17, 2018, in Kalispell. She was born on March 6, 1940 in Billings to Mike and Rose Klingensmith. Con, her husband of 52 years, passed away on July 23, 2018, just 56 days earlier. Vonnie was comforted by her children and brother Richard in her last days.

Vonnie’s children; Robert Darwin Osmond (deceased), Cindy Lee Osmond Wood, Steven Allen Osmond, Debra Ann Osmond Lopez, Tracy Edward Ovnicek, Travis Daniel Ovnicek, twins – Bart Allen Ovnicek and Bret Richard Ovnicek.

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.
