Age 74 of Inver Grove Heights.
Passed away unexpectedly on March 24, 2026.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Stan and Laverne Peterson, and three sisters.
Bonnie is survived by her loving husband of 55 years, Jim; her sons, Dan (Shelley) and Mike (Kristi); her cherished grandchildren, Collin, Kylie, Makayla, and Braeden; her brothers, Kevin and Daryl; and many other family members and dear friends.
Bonnie was a woman whose life was rooted in love, generosity, and deep devotion to her family. She spent her life working in the family business, where she managed the office and dedicated herself with the same care, commitment, and pride that she brought to every part of her life. She found her greatest joy in the time spent with those she loved most. Her grandchildren held a special place in her heart—she treasured every moment with them, whether it was playing games, celebrating milestones, or simply being together. They were a constant source of pride and happiness in her life.
She had a giving spirit that touched everyone around her. Bonnie freely gave her time and energy to helping others, especially through tutoring, teaching and her involvement with the church. She had a natural ability to connect, encourage, and uplift, and she made a lasting difference in the lives of those she helped. Her kindness, patience, and willingness to give of herself never went unnoticed.
Bonnie will also be remembered for her infectious laugh, one that could light up a room and bring a smile to anyone who heard it. It was a reflection of her joyful spirit and the warmth she carried with her wherever she went.
Bonnie loved to spend time with family, create meaningful connections, and be there for others whenever they needed her. She will be remembered for her warm heart, her steady presence, and the way she made people feel cared for and supported.
Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11:00 AM on Saturday, April 11th, at St. Thomas Becket Catholic Church, 4455 S. Robert Trail, Eagan, with visitation from 10:00–11:00 AM prior to Mass. Private interment.
Her legacy of love and generosity will live on in all who knew her.
