Bonnie was a strong person who worked hard most of her life. She strived to do the very best for her children and loved them dearly. When they hurt, she hurt; when they were happy, she was happy. Bonnie had a great sense of humor and laughed easily. She loved the beach and could be seen there frequently on her beach towel.

After retiring, she started creating beautiful flower arrangements and handmade jewelry. Later in life, she basically taught herself to paint and the results of this endeavor are truly outstanding. It was obvious to everyone around her that she was an extremely gifted artisan.
