Chere Bonnett Fischer Obituary (1925

Celebrating the Life of Cheré Bonnett Fischer She was born May 9, 1925, to Roy Bonnett and Agnes Lambourne in Provo, Utah. She passed away on June 11, 2024. At 5 years old, she was crowned Little Miss Provo. When she was 8, she won the Provo Strawberry Days Princess and was awarded a huge bowl of strawberries and cream. During her teenage years, living near the railway station provided a temptation too exciting to resist. She and her friends had a great time hopping the train, riding it to the next stop, getting off and then hopping another to take them home. She attended Provo schools and while a senior in high school a boy asked her to a dance. Not wanting to go with him, she lied and said she was going with Lou Fischer. Undaunted, the young man found Lou and asked him if he was really going with Cheré. Not wanting to disappoint, he eagerly said, “yes”. The budding romance led to an elopement in Grand Junction, CO on May 11, 1943. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple. After the end of WWII, they started their eternal family and eventually had seven children: Diane Nuttall, Tawny (Kelly) Griffiths, Cindy (Steve) Bushman, Staryl (Taft) Kaze, Sandea, Jim (Lisa) Fischer, and Tami (Joe) Allman. Raising six girls, she lovingly sewed and made many dresses throughout their childhood. She baked countless loaves of bread and bottled numerous fruits and vegetables. Her most prized possessions were her 7 children and she lived to 99 not wanting to leave them. Along with her children she leaves behind 27 grandchildren, 74 great-grandchildren, and 33 great-great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband Louis and daughter Staryl Kaze. She’s happily dancing on the tables in heaven! Condolences may be expressed to the family at www.bergmortuary.com.
