Bonnie was an avid Brewer and Packer fan. There are many good family memories of attending Brewer games as “Bonnie’s Bunch”. She liked to knit and crochet. Every new family bride and newborn was gifted with an afghan. She was very strong in her faith and was a member of St. Michael Christian Mothers and Choir. Her primary focus in life was her family. She was also famous for her poppy seed torte at family gatherings.
