She was a member of the Presbyterian Women and enjoyed her Bible study lunches when her health allowed her to attend.

Bonnie's life at the Sorenson ranch was defined by her exceptional cooking, her legendary hospitality, and her endless and unconditional love and compassion for her family, neighbors and friends.

Bonnie spent the last years of her life in assisted living, Pioneer Manor and in and out of the hospital.
