Bonnie was an active and faithful member of Bethel Lutheran Church. She had a very strong faith, had taught Sunday School and Bible School and was a member of the Women's and Quilting Groups.
Through the years she loved to go bowling with her family and friends and was a member of various bowling leagues. She loved playing all sorts of board games, cards, bingo and gambling. Most recently she was playing scrabble on line with Words With Friends. Some of her favorite things were her flower gardens and Christmas time. Her pride and joy was her family, all of their get-togethers they shared including every Sunday noon family dinner, watching her children and grandchildren playing sports and attending various other activities, and getting to spend time with her great-grandchildren.
