Bonnie, lovingly called Noni by her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, had a big heart and a warm and inviting personality that allowed everyone around her to feel comfortable being themselves. She had a witty sense of humor and could captivate a room with her funny stories. In her earlier years, she worked as a schoolteacher and beauty operator. She loved her family deeply and was a wonderful wife, daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She enjoyed hand quilting, playing card games, and watching sports, but loved nothing more than to spend time with her loved ones.
