Bonnie grew up in Maumee, Ohio and spent much of her summers with her family at their cottage on Clark's Lake in Michigan. She met Marty while working for 7-Up and they married in 1968. They lived near a horse stable while Marty was stationed at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in North Carolina where Bonnie developed a love of horses and became an avid rider.

Bonnie and Marty eventually moved to Holland, Ohio where they raised their two daughters. Bonnie coached and played softball, played bingo, and drove her daughters to their numerous dance lessons and sports practices.

She worked various accounting and retail jobs.

Bonnie will be remembered for her warmth, infectious smile, and sharp sense of humor. She loved spending time with her family, especially giving treats to her great-granddaughters. She also loved to dance and loved watching crime shows and The Hallmark Channel, especially at Christmas. Bonnie will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
