Bonnie married the love of her life, Oscar Dale Marrs, on August 30, 1946, in Valentine, NE, and they celebrated 51 years of marriage before Dale passed away on Dec 22, 1997. To this union 4 children were born, Terry, Bill, Don, and Dee.
Bonnie enjoyed camping, gardening, and traveling to visit family, which she and Dale always did together. She did not know a stranger. Her greatest joy was her babies, no matter how old they are.

Bonnie’s family would like to extend a very special Thank You to all the staff at Pioneer Manor Nursing Home in Hay Springs, NE, where Bonnie lived the last year of her life. We cannot express our gratitude to all of you enough for the love you showed to our Mom.
