After working in Des Moines she returned to Fontanelle, Iowa where she met her loving husband Jake. The two were married for 52 years and raised two daughters, Staci and Jami.

Upon her return to the area, she worked for Schildberg Inc. and then began her work with patients with  Dr. Frankl in Fontanelle, Dr. Hanson in Greenfield, and eventually retired with Adair County Medical Clinic.  

Bonnie enjoyed spending her time with Jake, visiting and shopping with her girlfriends, talking to her sister everyday, and taking care of the people she loved. Family was the foundation of Bonnie’s life. She adored supporting her children, and later her four grandchildren, in their education and activities. She loved attending their sporting events, academic ceremonies, and any event where she could show her pride and love for them.
