Bonnie was born on July 28, 1945 to Dan and Johnnie Huffman in Waco, Texas. She resided in Rosenthal, Texas all of her life. Bonnie loved music. She loved to dance and sing! She was always a few words behind, but never skipped a beat. Bonnie loved to hold babies, color, sew, and put circles in crossword puzzles. Bonnie also loved Birthday's, especially hers. Bonnie loved hats, and her eyes would light up when her dad, brothers or nephews entered the room with a cowboy hat on. Bonnie will always be remembered for her hugs and kisses, they are everlasting.

Manske, Sr. In her adults years she was given compassionate care by Dr. Ross Shipp. In later years, Bonnie was given excellent quality care by Providence Healthcare Physicians.
