She was born on Feb. 11, 1938, in Fargo, N.D., the daughter of David Cecil Forrest and Matilda (Mund Henke) Adams. Bonnie grew up in Fargo and married Gerald Herbert Monson on Aug. 22, 1958. The high school sweethearts both attended NDSU in Fargo, Gerald “Jerry” becoming an architect and Bonnie realizing her dream of raising a family and becoming a creative homemaker. She loved her life with Jerry and their four children. Bonnie also loved her time spent with friends: cooking in gourmet clubs, playing bridge, and performing with Jerry in a drama group. She was also well known for her wonderful talent as a seamstress; this became an avocation in her busy life.
