Bonnie grew up in Milwaukee, where her parents ran the family-owned Uncle August Sausage Company. She attended 24th Street and Phillips Grade Schools, Rufus King High School and Marquette University where she became a dental hygienist. Bonnie and Bob met at Big Cedar Lake and were happily married for 58 wonderful years raising 5 children in their Brookfield and Nagawicka Lake homes. Bonnie thrived as a homemaker and mother. She also enjoyed reading, playing tennis and volunteering in the St. John Vianney Community.
In 1992, Bob and Bonnie moved to Genesee and began a new chapter together. Together they enjoyed spending time with friends, reading, horseback riding, vacationing in Arizona, walking the land, traveling, swimming and most importantly spending time with their growing family. Family was everything to Mom. Bonnie and Bob loved spending time with their grandchildren and built a legacy of love that will be passed on for generations to come.
