Bonnie Carol Kriener

Bonnie Carol Kriener, age 83, of Ferndale, WA was born into the pioneer family of Chester and Rebecca Wilson in Quinault, WA on October 11, 1931 and grew up in Quinault and in Olympia surrounded by a large and loving family. Bonnie met David in Olympia 1953 while they were both working at Puget Power and they married in 1956. They raised 3 daughters who in turn gave them 4 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren. After their retirement they raised another child, Cody, who Bonnie got to see graduate from high school this year. Bonnie enjoyed a healthy debate about politics, searching for good real estate deals, wandering around discovering new places with her daughters, time spent on or around the water, road trips with no set destination, helping in the garden and flying with Dave. Bonnie and Dave moved a lot in their working lives but retired on the sunny shores of Sandy Point in Ferndale where they enjoyed many a sunset together and where family and friends loved to gather to enjoy the company of this kind, compassionate and funny woman.

David is going to miss his co-pilot and travelling partner and we are all going to miss the twinkle in her eye, her mischievous grin and her wicked sense of humor, but we know that Heaven is a little bit brighter with her in it.
