Emily S. Boneck

Emily Susan Boneck, 99, formerly of Tomahawk, passed away on Sunday, March 26, 2023 at Pine Crest Special Care, holding hands with family.

She was born February 16, 1924 in Bruno, Saskatchewan, Canada to Walter and Clara (Schmirler) Kundo.  Emily was united in marriage to Walter W. “Bud” Boneck on February 27, 1943 who she met while working at Marathon Battery.  He preceded her in death on December 3, 2003.

After many moves, from Wausau to Milwaukee to Pompano Beach-Eau Gallie, Florida, then back to Wisconsin, they settled in the Nokomis area and were members of St. Mary’s of Tomahawk.  There they made many friends and watched their family grow along the way.

Mom had so many wonderful caretakers at Pine Crest Nursing Home – Thank you to all.  Her favorite song to her visitors, “I love you a bushel and a peck and a hug around your neck!”  And she would call out, “Auch der lieber!”  A German phrase meaning, “my God – Heavens” to show her joy.
