She had her own business, Creative Silks, and did a lot of craft shows in various towns. Bonnie loved to sing and has sung in churches, weddings and funerals. She even performed on television in Tennessee. Bonnie also loved to fish at our place on the lake and visit with our lake friends and watch all the hummingbirds and Baltimore Orioles, play bingo with her bingo friends, and play cards with friends and her sisters-in-law. She was an only child, and her husband's family was her family, and she loved them as much as they loved her.
