Bonnie Lee Lawson passed away on March 21, 2019 in Salt Lake City.

She was born October 22, 1931 to Nels and Lena Johnson in Draper. She was the thirteenth of fifteen children (from a non-polygamist family). She grew up on a farm- meaning most meals were very fresh. Bonnie attended Jordan High School.

Bonnie met the love of her life, Thomas B. Lawson, while she was working as an elevator girl at Auerbachs. Together, they had three children: Linda, Susie, and Tom. Throughout her life, she loved shopping at Auerbachs, ZCMI, and any other big department stores.

She loved being a part of the Winder Seventh Ward for over sixty years. She had various callings, including Chorister and Primary President. Bonnie touched everyone's heart who knew her, and she always had her purse stuffed full of treats to share at church. She had a happy heart and had an infectious laugh.

Bonnie is survived by her daughter, Susie (Tim) Allgier; son, Tom (Bonne) Lawson; six grandchildren; several great-grandchildren; and sister, Vera Slaymaker. She is preceded in death by her parents; thirteen siblings; husband; daughter, Linda Peterson; and grandson, Kelly Winn.
