Bonnie had a beautiful smile that would brighten your entire day and her laughter and upbeat personality was infectious. Bonnie had one of the biggest hearts imaginable, she would drop everything she was doing to help her loved ones or friends in need. But her biggest passion was her family, especially her grandkids. They were the joy of her life. She loved to listen to music sing and dance with all of them. Bonnie was the sunshine in our family and was loved by all and will be greatly missed. We all love you more than words can say, until we meet again. Rest in heaven Bonnie Jean.
