Bunny was raised in Pennsylvania and graduated from the University of Indiana at Pennsylvania with a degree in music. She moved to Greenville, SC in 1978 with her loving husband, Clifford John Gandis. She was passionate about teaching music and taught at both McDuffie High School and T.L. Hanna High School. She also was a professionally paid singer and musician who performed at the Civic Light Opera in Pittsburgh, and at one point sang backup for Ray Charles. She loved music and was an avid piano player. She also had a passion for culinary arts and taught cooking classes. She truly loved teaching and the relationships she had with her students.

Everyone who met her would agree that she was a selfless human being who was very serious about donating to veteran’s organizations and the Ronald McDonald House.
