Bonnie enjoyed spending time with her family and was a beautiful storyteller. When Bonnie was around, there were lots of laughs and memories shared. In her earlier years, she was an avid watcher of stock car racing as her late husband, Lynn, raced cars. Bonnie would ride motorcycles with Lynn, seeing all the wonders the states had to offer. She always loved to travel back then and continued to enjoy road-trips with her recent husband, Mel. Her love for God and her country was unmatchable. Bonnie had a strong faith and was an excellent example for her family and those around her. She was a bowler, accordion player, and singer. Bonnie loved to play cards and games, sharing laughs with her family and friends. To say Bonnie loved Longaberger baskets is an understatement. She loved to watch the birds, especially Hummingbirds. Bonnie always had a giving heart. Her spontaneity will always be remembered. Bonnie leaves, to those that knew her, many laughs, and memories. We thank her for the beautiful moments we shared and the love she so freely gave. She is welcomed with open arms into heaven by all those she has loved that have gone before her.
Bonnie touched many lives throughout her life. She will be missed by many.
