Bonniemae was born March 14, 1932 at Mitchell, South Dakota. She was an only child.

Bonniemae worked at Namannys Caf, The Driftwood Caf and the Miller nursing home. She also helped Rudy when they owned the pool hall.

Bonniemae enjoyed people. She always made time to visit and would ask how things were going with others. She enjoyed cooking, baking, canning, babysitting and she really loved playing Bingo.

As her children left home and had families of their own, she always wanted to spend time with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She would always show pictures and talk about each of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. They were her pride and joy.

Bonniemae is survived by her husband, Rudolph (Rudy) of Miller; four children, John (Jeannette) of Norfolk, Va., Duane (JoAnn) of Sioux Falls, Donna Genzler of Rockham, and Karen (Russell Tice) Hoag of Miller; 15 grandchildren, Dawn, April, Holly, Tim, Tom (Candance), Hope, Amanda, Bobbie-Jo, Echo Lynn, Billy-Jo, Melisa (Victor), Scott (Kristin), Michael, Shelby and Dana; 12 great-grandchildren, John, Benny, Kareem, Autum, Nickki, Aylen, Elizabeth, Dustin, Joseph, Lori, Marcus and Bryan.
