Bonnie Leona Stevenson, daughter of Volmer and Nellie (Shuler) Galitz was born February 27, 1940, in Albion, NE. She was baptized at the First Baptist Church, Albion, NE. She attended Albion public schools and graduated with the class of 1958.

On August 20, 1960, Bonnie was united in marriage to Elwin Stevenson at Mount Olive Lutheran Church, Norfolk, NE. From this union they were blessed with daughter Robin. The couple started their marriage living on a farm northwest of Albion. They then moved to Oconto, NE and Kingston, MO before settling in Jamesport, MO. She was a devoted farm wife to Elwin where together they raised their daughter.  Bonnie ran a 2-row corn picker for Elwin, raked hay, milked cows, gardened, canned, and took care of their home.  She fed the corn sileage crew, the corn shelling crew, and cooked for the carpentry crew when the new District #60 school was being built at Akron, Nebraska.  This is the school their daughter attended kindergarten through 8th grade.

Bonnie was a member of Akron Jolly Neighbor Club, First Baptist Church Women's Circles, Gideon Auxiliary, and was a children's junior class Sunday school teacher at First Baptist Church in Albion, NE.

Bonnie loved the Lord and her family with all her heart. She and Elwin always made themselves available when someone had a need. She loved to cook meals and share baked goods with everyone. Bonnie was one of the most giving people her family has ever known. She loved music and being joyful. Her greatest joys in life were her daughter, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
