She is survived by her nieces, nephews, the Hoffman family, and all of her beloved friends. Bonnie was preceded in death by her husband, Warren Allen; her parents, Ralph and Lela Lee Myers; her brothers, Claude Myers and Glenn Myers; her sisters, Phyllis Freeman and Harriet Sandjer; her best friend, Kathy Hoffman.
