In June of 1943 Bonnie married Warren Demoney and to this union five sons were born; Gerald, Robert, Albert, David and Leonard and one daughter Patti. With family support the challenge of raising six children in the depression era was met head on with love and determination. Bonnie enjoyed dancing, playing solitaire, latch hooking, canning, making holiday candy, playing accordion and serving her traditional Sunday fried chicken dinner. However, her true love was her family, not only her children and their spouses but also her grandchildren. Bonnie married Dewey Siemers in 1969. In 1990 Bonnie suffered an incapacitating stroke, after her stroke she had limited mobility and difficulty with her speech, however she never lost the art of communicating no one after being around Bonnie for any length of time had any doubt what her wishes were. Her determination and will proved many a doctor wrong. She knew her family needed and wanted her with them and only as she could, she fought daily to live her life to the fullest. Due to the love of her family and especially her daughter, Patti she was able to stay in her Bennett home until just a year ago. One of her joys was her daily phone calls from her sister, Lucile. Lucile visited her often and would take Bonnie on a drive to the country which she so enjoyed. As one of her great grandsons would ask her “did your buddy come see you today?â€? She would just smile a say “ oh, yes.â€? Even in her last months in the nursing home and hospital, she spread her love. The doctors and nurses came to love her as much as we do, she was endearingly called “our girl.â€? She will be greatly missed.
