She was a member of St. Paul Lutheran Church, Littlestown.
Bonnie loved working in her flower beds, collecting lighthouses and Santa Claus figurines, knitting, watching ice skating, playing cards, dancing to big band music, and of course, golfing. She enjoyed visiting Shady Maple Smorgasbord many times during her retirement years. Bonnie loved anything chocolate. Her specialty was making peanut butter crackers dipped in chocolate, all the time!
Next to spending time with their family and friends, Bonnie and Harry’s favorite pastime was playing golf, which they did for many years, every chance they got. They built their forever home on Johnson Drive at Lake Heritage in Gettysburg, where they were property owners for 58 years.
