Bonnie is blessed to have a large circle of family and friends who support her; each one of them were also deeply affected as they supported Paul throughout his stages of ALS.Prior to Paul’s diagnosis, Bonnie had a career in management, sales, and service for independent insurance agencies. Her career was abruptly interrupted in January 2019 when Paul was diagnosed with ALS.Bonnie is a Colorado native, born and raised in Timnath, CO.
