Bonnie graduated in 1959 from Cynthiana High School and loved to tell stories of how the basketball team and their fans came to her parent’s restaurant in Cynthiana after games for cheeseburgers and milkshakes. She attended Lockyear Business College in Evansville, Indiana. Bonnie retired from the Warrick County School Corporation and enjoyed years of traveling with her husband, Bob. They were married for 50 years, and enjoyed their Barkley Lake house along with fishing, boating and playing clabber with family and friends for decades. They were known for their fish fries & enjoyed hosting many family celebrations and holidays at their home. Bonnie had a smile for everyone and her love of music continued throughout her life.
