Bonnie was born on July 30, 1919 in Culdesac, Idaho the daughter of William & Nora (Coffland) Smith.

They later moved to Seattle and Ernie worked as a Bell Hop at the Stewart Hotel and Bonnie was a stay at home mom until 1958 when she went to Mr. Lee’s Beauty School in Seattle.

The family moved to the View Ridge area and she and Ernest opened and operated several beauty salons in the area until his death in 1971.  Bonnie later moved to Arizona and there she met John Wondolski; they were married in 1977 and they made their home in Rim Rock, AZ until his passing in 1998.  Bonnie then moved to Sedro-Woolley in 1999, residing at the Carriage Court Estates until moving into Country Meadows in 2014.

    Marlene and Family, I loved Aunt Bonnie so much. I’ll always remember her laughing with my Mom at night while they were playing with my infant son, Jerry. She showed him how to eat artichokes before he had teeth and gave him gum to chew when I thought he would choke! Well, he’s 45 years old now and well. Guess Aunt Bonnie knew best!

    She always was helping people in Arizona including doing the hair of the elderly ladies in her Rimrock neighborhood and Cottonwood nursing home.

    Her heart was full of love and she will be missed by anyone who knew her.
