On October 10, 1965, Bonnie married Patrick O’Connor; they later divorced. Bonnie was a feisty, sweet, and social lady. In Bonnie’s life family came first. Her pride and joy was her grandchildren. She enjoyed watching them as they grew from children to adults, and hearing about what was happening in their lives. Her family and friends knew she was only a phone call away if they needed anything. She had a great memory for details. She was a good cook and made delicious potato salad.
