She was born in the Trinity community near North on Feb. 8, 1919, to John Brown and Daisy Crim Hydrick. She spent her childhood years in North and was valedictorian of her graduating class at North High School. She attended Columbia College and graduated from Columbia Business School. Mrs. Bonnette lived in the Bolentown-Pine Hill area for 70 years following her marriage to John H. Bonnette Sr. As well as keeping books for the family farm, she was a bookkeeper for several businesses in Orangeburg County. She was very active in the community, serving as Cub Scout Den Mother, PTA president, grade mother, leader of the 4-H club and a member of FCLA. She was involved in many other civic and community organizations promoting education, history and music, always including the involvement of children and youth.
