Bonnie worked as a cashier at the Ord High School cafeteria for 25 years. In 2014, Bonnie and Charlie moved to Primrose Retirement Community in Grand Island.

Bonnie lived in Ord for 53 years and loved golfing, listening to accordion music and polka dancing. She enjoyed going for walks, pretty flowers and birthday coffees with her friends.  Bonnie was active in the American Legion Auxiliary and a lifetime member of Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary.

Bonnie's favorite thing to do was to spend time with her sons and their families. She adored her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and looked forward to their visits. She would travel to her grandchildren's programs and sports activities and was their ardent cheerleader.

Bonnie is survived by her three sons and their spouses, Danny and Candy Wolf and David and Julie Wolf, all of Lincoln, and Douglas and Deb Wolf of Grand Island; eight grandchildren; eighteen great-grandchildren; and a sister-in-law, Judith Kron of Anchorage, Alaska.

She was preceded in death by her parents; both of her husbands; and a brother, C. R. Kron.
