| Notes |
- The following were told to Michelle King, Bonnie’s granddaughter, arou n d 1997 when she asked Bonnie a series of questions and wrote them u p a s a brief history of Bonnie.
Her Childhood:
Bonnie was sewing before the first grade. She was not tall enough to s i t and reach the pedals, so she had to stand to use the pedal machine.
Bonnie never owned a teddy bear or a doll as a child, but she did ha v e a big stack of paper dolls. She loved playing in her Grandma Blackner ’ s trunk of clothes. Grandma Blackner had pattern books and cloth for Bo nn ie to make clothes with.
When Bonnie was a child, she was petrified of horses. Her dad helped h e r to overcome this fear by teaching her never to give up. He had her le a d a horse pulling hay to the barn. He wouldn’t let her give up on tha t ta sk and helped her to face her fears. When she had completed the tas k of s imply leading the horse to the barn, then he took over and let he r go pla y.
They worked really hard as children. They never, ever just sat! If you w e re in the house, dad made you work. However, working was fun, it wa s a wa y of life.
Although her family was poor when she was growing up, they never let t h e children know that they were poor. The children always felt that the y w ere as good as everyone else.
There were no quarrels in the home. That just wasn’t a part of home life.
Her Teenage Years:
School came easily to Bonnie. She never opened her history book becaus e s he learned from the teacher and took good notes. She played hooky a l ot i n high school. She spent those days making fudge or spending time wi th he r friends.
Her senior year of high school, Bonnie was approached by the principal a n d told that if she applied herself she would probably be the valedictor ia n. However, she married Howard Lothair King before she graduated fro m hig h school.
One of the fads when she was growing up was the “Nickelodeon”. This w a s a juke box that played music tunes. In order to get it to play music , y ou would put a nickel in the slot and push the button for the song yo u wa nted to hear.
Dating:
Her dad always said, “Bonnie you can come in whenever you want to. I’m n o t giving you a curfew, but you have a choice over consequences.” He le t h er know that she decided what happened in her life and then had to li ve w ith the consequences of her choices.
Married with children:
Bonnie worked her children. For example, Paul would get up at 4 am and w o rk at the creamery. Then he would attend seminary and continue on to sc ho ol. After school he would work at the creamery until 10 pm.
They didn’t have a car at one point, so the children would walk miles ev e rywhere.
The family didn’t have any financial stability until Bonnie began her dr a pery business based from her home. She hated having to work and wishe d th at she could have just been a mom, but circumstances pushed her int o th e work force.
Family Traditions:
Every Christmas, Bonnie would do a different theme on the Christmas tre e . She was not one to do something more than once.
Sunday had some traditions as well. The family all went to church. Lat e r in the day, they had a family dinner with nice china settings.
Talents:
When she was on the Stake Relief Society Board, they attended a traini n g meeting with a general authority. The leader had them write their be s t attribute on a piece of paper. Everyone turned to Bonnie and said thi ng s like, “You don’t have any problems coming up with an attribute. YO u ca n paint, sing, dance and sew.” However, Bonnie believed her best att ribut e was that she could keep her cool and temper under pressure. She c ould w ork easily under pressure.
Bonnie learned a lot of things over the years out of necessity. For exam p le, she was asked to play the piano in church. So she taught herself h o w to play. She never said, “I can’t”, but instead she went and taught h er self how to do!
If She Could Live Her Life Over Again:
Bonnie was a workaholic like her parents. She wished that should could l e arn how to just play.
Her Advice:
If Bonnie could leave one piece of advice with her posterity, it woul d b e to stress the importance of education.
Remember Her For:
Bonnie hoped to be remembered for being a good seamstress, for being mec h anically inclined and for her sense of design. She believed that other s w ould recognized her as a hard worker. She hoped to also be remembere d fo r being close to the spirit.
