Bonnie Crabb - Tremblay

Bonnie Jean Crabb-Tremblay, age 60, of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan moved on to eternal life on March 2, 2015. Bonnie was born in Escanaba, Michigan on March 21, 1954, the daughter of Edward and Bernice (Demsky) Wieciech. She graduated from North Central High School in Powers, Michigan with the class of 1972. Bonnie continued her education, receiving degrees in both nursing and psychology from Lake Superior State College in 1976. Her passion in life was nursing, and after a career in several different nursing specialties, she coined the phrase, "Hey, I'm just the Old Nurse!" During her career she worked in many areas of nursing all while having a focus on providing the best, most compassionate care for everyone she met. Her specialties included emergency medicine, geriatrics, psychology, dialysis, home health and hospice, and air medical transport. In true "Bonnie fashion", On December 22, 2010, she married her long-time companion, Joe Tremblay, on their lunch break while wearing scrubs. Bonnie also loved traveling, dining out, unique food, farmers markets, volunteering for Special Olympics, and going to the theater and plays. Chocolate was her first line therapy, and she used it to cure everything. If she could be anywhere on vacation it would be out of "Sault Sainte Siberia" and on the beach in Mexico with her big sunglasses, a margarita, and a good mystery novel. Bonnie is survived by her husband: Joseph Tremblay; five children: Blake Crabb of Grand Rapids, MI, Michelle Tremblay of Sault Ste. Marie, MI, Maria (Juronda) Brown of Augusta, GA, and Jason (Ashley) Tremblay and Brooke (Brock Mercier) Crabb both of Marquette, MI; her two dogs: Riley and Shamie; and four grandchildren: Tristin, Kaidin, Maliyah, and Marley Miller. She is also survived by her mother: Bernice Wieciech of Bark River, MI; two sisters: Patti Wieciech and Beth (Richard) Gauthier both of Bark River, MI; a nephew: Ryan (Erin) Gauthier of Grand Rapids, MI; and her mother-in-law: Sandy Crabb of DesBarats, Ontario, as well as many other relatives and friends near and far. Bonnie is joining her father, Edward Wieciech, and father-in-law, Gayle Crabb, in eternal life. A celebration of Bonnie's life will be held from 3:00 until 9:00 PM on Thursday, March 5, 2015 at C.S.
