Bonnie loved spending time with her parents, going on many trips with them. She loved to travel, “GO” was her favorite word. She especially loved spending time at the family cabin at Bear Lake. Bonnie loved listening to music and some of her favorites were Elvis Presley, Backstreet Boys, and Billy Ray Cyrus. She loved going to church, special mutual, camp, and any other activities that had to do with the LDS church. Bonnie was loved by all, and would make friends where ever she went.
