Bonnie was born July 26, 1937 in Chicago, Illinois and had been a long time resident of Colorado Springs, Colorado. Bonnie died on August 8, 2017, and was welcomed into Heaven into the arms of Jesus.

Mom was passionate about her family, was a devoted army wife, and a wonderful mother and grandmother. Mom retired from JCPenny, was active in a Hummel Club, enjoyed playing bunco, family history and visiting family, going to church, and traveling with dad and friends. Her favorite trip was to Alaska with Dad, but in her travels she always found time to stop off at the casinos and play her favorite slot machines.
