She passed away on April 28, 2022 at the age of 97. She was born in Salem, Oregon where she attended all 12 years of school. Her family moved to Spokane, Washington in 1943 from Vancouver, Washington.
Bonnie was married to Wesley Carlson in 1947 and they were married for 63 years. Wesley preceded her in death in February 2011.
In those years they enjoyed many adventures, traveling to numerous places, camping, hiking, snow skiing, snowmobiling, canoeing, 4-wheeling and many cruises. Bonnie wasn't always a fan of some of Wes's choices for adventure, but she was always a trooper and a partner, and didn't want to stay behind.
Bonnie is survived by her 4 children
Harold Carlson of Spokane, WA
Marilyn & Terry Nap of Apache Junction, AZ
Clifford Carlson of Saco, MT
Elaine Pederson & Hoppy Ennis of Spokane, WA,
8 grandchildren, 16 great grandchildren, and 1 great great grandson.
The children would like to personally thank Hospice of Spokane and the staff at Royal Park Retirement Home for all their love and care given to Bonnie in her last four years.
