It was easy for Bonnie to make friends especially being a hairdresser for over 50 years. She was known for being dressed to the nines and keeping her home immaculate. She loved making rum cakes, cooking, and hunting.
For several years she was a member of the Laramie Eagles Club, American Legion and the VFW.
She is preceded in death by her parents; her siblings, Charlie Sanchez and Evelyn Valencia; and her faithful furry companion of many years, Deuce.
She is survived by her children, Gene (Cindy) Atencio, Tim Atencio, and April (Matt) Thornton; grandchildren, Rachael, Erin, Wil, Tim John, Reece, and Nick; her siblings, Cordy Crawford, Phyllis (Ricky) Winder, and Kenny Sanchez; numerous nieces and nephews.
Private family services will be held at a later date.
Memorial donations may be made the VFW.

Dear Bonnie, I am brokenhearted and already miss you. You were a true friend of my family and considered a big part of it. I will miss our phone calls, laughing, catching up on all the news and reminiscing of our past. Rest in peace sweet friend. Give Duce a hug for me!

Our condolences April. I remember your mom Bonnie Fondly. She was bigger than life and lived it fully. Leaving an indelible impression on me as a teenager; loved all her Christmas trees and driving in the hazard lane to beat traffic on our trips to Denver in her Cadillac El Dorado!

Bonnie Trabing has been my neighbor for 33 years. I have missed her lately sitting on her stoop as I walked or drove by, and our chats. She was a most elegant woman. My condolences to her family.

Bonnie was always so sweet and sassy! Loved that about her! I will miss catching up with her and seeing her beautiful self dressed to the nines. My daughter always thought she was a movie star and loved how she dressed. Celebrating the life of a wonderful woman and mourning her passing with you; sending my deepest condolences.

Sad to hear of Bonnie has left us. She was my first babysitter, back in 1958. The best hair dresser I ever had. Such a great person and so much fun to be with. Will miss our talks and seeing her. She had so much energy and talent, and a beautiful soul. I will miss you Bonnie! My Condolences to all of her family. May God give you peace and comfort at this sad time.

Dear Phyllis,
Eric and I are so sorry to learn of your dear sister’s passing. Though we didn’t know her, it is obvious that extreme talent as a beautician runs in the family!! Thinking of you at this difficult time…
