Bonnie was truly a wonderful, beautiful, and amazing woman who had the rare gift of lighting up any room. She was kind, generous, caring, and always fun to be around. A woman who made people feel welcomed, seen, and appreciated simply by being herself. Bonnie carried herself with integrity, class, optimism, kindness, and grace. She was adamant to not leave the house without ensuring she was fully dressed from head to toe; including having her hair and nails done. Along with shoes, purse, and jewelry to match her outfit.
