Bonnie obtained her Cosmetology license and owned her own hair salon. She later also became
an instructor. She donated her talents for hair and makeup to the Dilettantes and the Northside
Playhouse. She served as a board member on the State Board of Idaho Barber and Beauty for
several years. She really enjoyed creating hairstyles that would elevate a person’s confidence
and love for themselves.
Bonnie loved being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She often said
The Gospel got her through some of the most difficult times of her life. She was married in the

temple workers at this temple.
Her callings included: Chorister for Sacrament Meeting and Relief Society, Counselor in the
Relief Society Presidency, Pack leader and den leader in Boy Scouts, Camp Director of Young

She was president for two separate terms.
Bonnie’s life revolved around her many family and friends. She loved creating great parties,
many of which were costume themed. She organized treasure hunts. She loved to camp and
ride a motorcycle. Perhaps her best memories were getting together with loved ones and
spending time at the family cabin where they roasted hot dogs and cooked on her
grandmother's antique wood stove.

(Dean), son, Jared Henson (Christy), and daughter Megan Henson (Jeff Lowe), fourteen
