*****
Bonnie was a devout Catholic with a strong faith and an active member of St. Pius church. She retired from Rockwell Collins after 26 years of service. She was a quiet person, but her core ran deep.
She was happiest when her family gathered together, and we all enjoyed her large homecooked meals that were delicious and served right on time. She enjoyed bookkeeping, crocheting, music, dancing with Jess, laughter, clothes shopping, recording memories with her photos, family genealogy research and was always open to learning new things and ideas.
Mom and Dad had a house full of kids and grandkids which leaves us with treasured memories to relish and enjoy. She was a wonderful daughter, sister, wife, mother, and grandmother. We miss you Mom, enjoy being together with Dad again.
