from home and later at a shop. Bonnie was famous for her Baking: Zucchini
Bread, Texas Cake and Brownies, were her specialties. She was also an
amazing seamstress, always sewing beautiful matching outfits for her
daughters and then her granddaughters. For over 20 years, Bonnie and

many mission activities. Bonnie was always noticed for her spunky spirit, her
compassion for the ill and elderly and her willingness to volunteer to pitch

play games.
