Bonnie's beauty radiated throughout her life. She held many beauty titles including Aviation Queen, Snow Queen, Homecoming Queen at Ottawa Hills, and modeled professionally after graduating high school. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt. Bonnie enjoyed painting, knitting, golfing, decorating her home, and giving the best advice. Most of all, she loved watching her kids and grandkids in sports. She often said, "If I had a nickel for every time I sat on a bleacher, I would be a rich woman." She volunteered at Metro Health Hospital and The Voight House. She had deep compassion for children with disabilities and enjoyed her part-time job transporting them to and from school. She wholeheartedly served her church, her family, and her friends.
