Bonnie Jean Heugly, our dear, sweet and beautiful Mother passed away on September 5, 2025 at the age of 83 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Born in Payson, Utah on April 17, 1942 to Lawrence Fred Butler and Marguerite Carruth Butler. Bonnie attended Payson High School and later the University of Utah. She will be remembered for her intelligence, grace and wit. She was a devoted Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, Sister and Aunt and was always someone her children, family and friends could go to for advice, unconditional love and comfort. She inspired cherished first laughs and devotion among her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
She came from a long line of fiercely strong and independent women enjoying careers in the banking, hotel and healthcare industries over her lifetime where her generous caring for the well-being of all those she had an influence will be greatly missed and celebrated moving forward.
Our Mother enjoyed traveling abroad with family and friends celebrating the richness of people and culture. She enjoyed the arts and the human experience. She was devoted to her life-long friendships that brought her such happiness.
Bonnie was preceded in death by her Mother, Father, Sister Jacque Burton and Grandson Jordan and is survived by her children, Gregory (Sally), Brian (Paula) and Matthew; 5 Grandchildren: Tyler, McKenna, Mark, Cameron, Dalton and 8 great grandchildren.
Our family would like to extend gratitude to the hospice team at Intermountain Health for their compassion and care of our Mother.
