In her free time, Bonnie also enjoyed gardening.

She is survived by her daughters, Pamela Poore (Rick), Tina Gering (Jerry), Cathy Green, and Sheri Phipps (Dan); grandchildren, Brandi, Bradly, Bryce, Amanda, Joe, Victoria, Veronica, Jerri Jean, Mary, Andrea, Misty, and Danny; and twelve great-grandchildren.
