Nappanee, Ind. — Sheryl J. Bontrager, 28, and her daughter, Lori, 3, were fatally injured Dec. 21 in a two-vehicle accident as they were on their way to church.
Police said the crash occurred when Bontrager failed to stop at an intersection. She and her daughter were thrown from their vehicle upon impact. A second daughter, Trisha, 5, was admitted to Elkhart General Hospital with internal and other injuries.
The five people in the other vehicle-a woman and her four daughters-were treated and released from the Elkhart hospital.
In addition to her daughter, Trisha, Bontrager is survived by her husband, Kevin, her parents, maternal grandparents, two sisters, and two brothers. Lori Bontrager is survived by her father and sister, maternal and paternal grandparents, and maternal great-grandparents.
Funeral services were held at Yellow Creek Mennonite Church, where Bontrager was a member and sponsor for Mennonite Youth Fellowship.
