Bonny Wheeldon

September 22, 1926 — August 17, 2021

She also worked at Iowa Western as a "resident/patient" for the Certified Nurse Aide State Skills Exam. She bowled on the Lewis Central Teachers' League for many years. Bonny was a fan of the casinos often playing slots and inviting friends and family to eat meals there "on her points."

Bonny loved spending time with her grandkids and great-grandkids, to whom she was known as Granny.
