Bonita “Bonnie” (Benson) Rebelein passed away surrounded by her family and loved ones Saturday, Aug. 24, 2019, at her home in Alden.

Bonnie was born Dec. 2, 1943, in Rochester to Richard and Irene (Boysen) Benson. She attended country school and later graduated from Hayfield High School. She attended Austin Junior College.

She met the love of her life, Roger, at the Austin Terp. They were married Sept. 29, 1962. They spent 56 extraordinary years together. Together they lived in Minnetonka until 1970, when they moved to the Rebelein family farm in Alden. There they raised their family.

She was a very active volunteer at The Rock in Albert Lea. She had a card ministry and was a prayer warrior. She was involved with Gideons, jail ministry and the local truck stop ministry. Most of all, she loved to spend time with family and friends.    

Bonnie is survived by her husband, Roger; children Cindy (Matt) Norland, Mark Rebelein, Daniel (Paula) Rebelein and Christine Rebelein; grandchildren Joshua, Angela, Norland, Benjamin and Luke Rebelein; brothers Russel (Jennifer) Benson and Randy (Jodi) Benson; sisters-in-law Arlis (Donald) Smith and Audrey Christensen; many nieces and nephews; and other relatives and friends.

She is preceded in death by her parents Richard and Irene Benson; parents-in-law George and Clara Rebelein; sister-in-law, Peggy Benson; and nephew, Robert Benson.

Her family would like to extend a very special thank you to the Cancer Center and Albert Lea Mayo Hospice for their wonderful care and support.

In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred to Youth for Christ, Gideons or Albert Lea Hospice.
