Bonnie was born on March 10, 1950, in Ogden, Utah, to Charles Raymond Miller and Betty Lou Barrow Miller. She attended schools in Ogden and graduated from Ben Lomond High School.

On June 21, 1968, Bonnie married Thomas Conger in Salt Lake City. In the course of their marriage, she lived in Salt Lake City, Fresno, Mesa, Roy, and Idaho Falls. She cherished the role of being a mother and grandmother. Bonnie was known for her kind heart, generous spirit, and unwavering love for her children and grandchildren. She dedicated herself to creating a nurturing and loving home environment, always putting her family’s needs above her own. Her selflessness and devotion were a constant source of inspiration and comfort to those who knew her.

Beyond her family, Bonnie actively contributed to her community and touched the lives of those around her. She was admired for her kindness and compassion, always lending a helping hand to those in need. Bonnie’s warm smile and caring nature made her a beloved member of the community, and her legacy of love and giving will be cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
