In retirement, she enjoyed a second career as the office manager for Inner Space Design where she applied her many creative talents. She completed coursework in fine arts (photography) at Washtenaw Community College and was founder of the photography business “Worth a Thousand Words.” Bonnie’s greatest joy was spending time with family and friends, especially her craft and book club friends. She was the ultimate hostess who loved opening her beautiful home for movie nights or organizing dinners and holiday gatherings. All who knew Bonnie admired her natural and exceptional ability as an interior decorator. She loved travel and sharing those adventures with others. Some of her fondest memories were of trips though out the U.S., Canada and abroad. She particularly enjoyed Mackinaw Island, Italy, and Great Britain. Most of all, she loved her home. She was a true friend to many who was admired for her generous spirit and great humor. Her strength and selfless determination while she courageously battled with cancer, were an inspiration to all who knew her. Bonnie will be dearly missed and never forgotten.
