Bonnie had many hobbies throughout her life. She enjoyed crafts such as sewing and crocheting, making jewelry and doing beadwork, and building stained glass and ceramic decorations. Watching and feeding birds, particularly hummingbirds, and attending to her garden gave her peace outdoors. She loved to be in the kitchen trying different recipes and baking sweets.
