Bonnie Mae Lanza

Bonnie Mae Lanza, loving mother of four returned to God at the age of eighty-two in Eau Claire, WI, on March, April 21, 2026, leaving a void her family cannot fill. Bonnie was born in Eau Claire, WI, in 1943 to Russell and Thelma Fullerton. 

Bonnie was a devoted mother to Laura Valdez (Paul Powell), Stacey Gamez (Elizabeth Dunaway), Rhonda (James) Kretschmer, and April Gamez. 

Bonnie took special joy in birdwatching, fishing, caring for her pets, and outings with her family and friends. She was a devout Pentecostal and took solace in knowing the Lord was watching over her. Christian values informed every aspect of her life and molded her into the beloved person she was. 

Bonnie was preceded in death by her husband, Rosario Lanza; daughter, April Gamez; her parents (Thelma and Russell Fullerton); two brothers (Warren and Bobbie Fullerton); and two sisters (Rosemary Richardson and Diana Piel). She is survived by seven grandchildren, seven great grandchildren, and two sisters Arlene (Pat) Kroll and Darlene (Kevin) Carpe who will never forget the love and kindness she brought to their lives. 

Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, April 30 at Pentecostal Assembly, 9 Ninth Ave., Eau Claire with Pastor Josh Anderson officiating. Visitation will be from 10:00 a.m. until time of service. Burial will be at Lakeview Cemetery, Eau Claire.
