of eleven children.

Bonnie made friends easily and loved getting involved in her community.  In her early years she was a Baton Majorette and a Candy Striper. She liked volunteering at her church and visiting the elderly. She worked many jobs, but one constant was being an Avon Consultant. In her retirement, she joined the Eagles Club. She loved to coordinate pot-luck suppers at her home for senior living. She was always generous and made sure her children and grandchildren felt special and would chaperone field trips. She was a well-loved member of the community in Beacon Falls - Naugatuck Valley in CT and her senior home in Whitefield, NH.
