Bonnie was a spunky woman with an absolute heart of gold. She was as fashionable as she was feisty- sporting a beehive in the 60’s to an Afro in the 70’s. Go-go boots to daisy duke’s with a crop top, she always made sure that she was in trend. She always made sure she was done up and looking right. Not one family member can recall EVER seeing her without her hair done up. She loved to talk. And talk.

She loved riding on the back of the Harley with the love of her life- making sure to travel to Sturgis every year for 25 years straight. She enjoyed traveling the country in their prized RV - hitting 43 of the lower 48 states. She loved getting together with her girlfriends throughout the years for lunch and dinner dates, and absolutely loved reconnecting with and making new friends once she discovered Facebook. Always the first to leave a sweet comment, post an uplifting photo, or send a million thumbs up over messenger.

She was a wonderful mother and grandmother. She was always sure to attend every single birthday party, graduation and wedding. Any important event, big or small, she always made sure she was there to show her support and how proud she was. She was so incredibly proud of all her children and grandchildren, and will be dearly missed by all of them.

Bonnie is survived by her children, Joe Froehlich, Michele (Jerry) Massee, Brett (Katrina) Rosene, and Bryon (Kellie) Rosene; grandchildren, Cory Rosene, Nick Rosene, Paige (Alex) Thompson, Jacob Massee, and Katie Rosene; sister, Karen Molnar, and numerous nieces, nephews, and great nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her sweetheart of 45 years, Rod Rosene; her mother, Mary Maupin; her beloved son, Al Froehlich, and her adored and spoiled dogs Bobbi, Willie, and Ryder Rosebud.

Bonnie will be remembered and forever missed by all who knew her. She was a truly special, one of a kind woman.
