Bonnie J Sisko, age 73, of Altoona, WI passed away Monday, March 26th surrounded by her family at HSHS Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire.
Bonnie was born on November 28, 1944 to John and Linnea Bishop in Ladysmith, WI. She graduated from Ladysmith High School in 1963. She married Ronald M Sisko on April 23, 1966. Bonnie became a CNA and worked at Rusk Co. Memorial Hospital & Sacred Heart Hospital, and eventually became a home health care aide. After Ron and Bonnie started their family she became a licensed day care provider for many years and finished her working career at Hutchinson Technology.
Besides her family, one of Bonnie’s many joys in life was her daily crossword puzzles with Ron, watching her game shows, and of course the Green Bay Packers. She enjoyed playing Ducky Dice & Dirty Clubs. This last year, every Sunday, would be a day of playing Dirty Clubs with her family, which she looked forward to even at the end of her days.
Bonnie lived a fulfilling life and she and Ron raised a great family. Bonnie had a sense of humor everyone absolutely loved and it seems to have trickled down to her children and grandchildren. She truly enjoyed the moments spent with all of them, especially after Ron passed in 2015. She missed him greatly and it warms our hearts they are together again.
Bonnie is survived by her children; Todd (Kari) Sisko, of Menomonie, Theresa (Kyle) Gibbs, of Ladysmith, Chad (Jennifer) Sisko, of South Range, and Travis Sisko, of Altoona, grandchildren; Ryan and Evan Sisko, Taylor and Zachary Gibbs, Tori (Logan) Lindberg, Matthew Sisko, and Wyatt and Kinsley Sisko, and great grandson; Cayden Lindberg. As well as Carmen Rudesill and Family. Brother James “Doc” (Judy) Bishop, sister Becky (Gene) Nikolai and sister-in-law Bubba Bishop, and special sister by heart, Jan Sisko.
She is further survived by many nieces, nephews, family and friends.
Bonnie is preceded in death by her husband Ronald M Sisko, parents John and Linnea Bishop, brother John (Carol) Bishop, Dick Bishop and sister Brenda Bishop.
