She was born January 29, 1956 in Keshena, WI; daughter of Andrew Jr. and Ida (Shawanomitta) Boyles. Out of all things in life Nalonnie loved being a mother the most. Her love for her children and grandchildren was infinite. Every child that walked through her door she made sure felt loved and her favorite way to show it was by providing home cooked meals big enough to feed an army. Her Sundays were always spent at church with her beloved boyfriend, Roger. She treasured her time in the outdoors and with all animals, especially her own. Nalonnie will be dearly missed by all of her loving family and many friends.
