Bonnie was a huge lover of music, movies, and playing games with her friends and family. She also loved Lake Michigan and going out on the boat on Murray Lake. She was known for her famous Chex Mix and always sending birthday cards and gifts to everyone she knew. Bonnie had the biggest heart and was beloved by her many family members and friends. She will be missed by all who knew her. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the American Cancer Society or the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation. Bonnie did not want a funeral; rather, she would love to know that her friends and family gathered in small groups to celebrate her life.
