Bonni attended The Chabad of Wiregrass and was always proud of her Jewish heritage.
Born in New Jersey, she moved to Florida and enjoyed making friends here. She received her degree in Managerial Economics from Montclair University utilizing her skills working for Hilton Home reservations.
And of course, there was her love of everything Disney, especially Donald Duck. Thank you to Make a Wish for sending her to Disney World to celebrate her birthday this past May.
Bonni is survived by her daughter Felicia Altman (Brian) and her granddaughter Ruchama Ariella.
