Bonnie loved to sew, especially quilts. When the kids were little, she enjoyed making their clothes. She enjoyed going to church, and helping people. She loved watching western movies and was a very loving, and caring person — would do anything to help anybody. She loved the outdoors, flowers, sitting on her porch, and drinking coffee. She loved her little dog, May May—very loyal to her. She will be missed by all who knew her.
