Bonnie loved spending time with family and friends at her cottage in Fountain City, WI. She loved fishing on the Mississippi River. She was an avid NASCAR fan and enjoyed going to races and watching them on television. Her favorite driver was Jeff Gordon. Bonnie's other passions included antiquing (especially antique dishes), gardening and raising pumpkins, traveling, playing cards, going to the casino, and wintering in Phoenix, AZ where she would watch the Brewers during spring training. Family meant the world to Bonnie. She was a very special lady who never met a person who did not become a friend. Bonnie is survived by her loving husband, Roger; two children: Todd (Jodi) Grimm and Pam (Jerry Bydynkowski) Grimm; and two grandchildren, Kirstin and Taylor Grimm. She was preceded in death by her parents. Special thanks to all of the friends and family who supported Bonnie and her family with their thoughts and prayers.
