Three children were born: Jason in 1979, Kelly in 1980 and Staci in 1982.

Bonnie was a woman of faith, demonstrated throughout her entire life in her service and dedication to the Lord and the church.

She served her husband, children and cared for the elderly as a caregiver. Bonnie served those in the nursing home in Alma, Nebraska as a supervisor in the kitchen. She continued to serve at Southern Valley schools in a leadership role in the kitchen preparing and serving nutritious meals to the students.

Bonnie’s other interests included playing hymns on the piano, photography and photo albums, gardening and flowers, making recipes and cooking, and spending time with her family.
