She was born June 11, 1947 in Toledo Ohio to the late Rita Maher and John D. Brehmer. Bonnie grew up in Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York’s Long Island until high school – when her family moved to Port Arthur Texas where her dad was an executive with Texaco Oil. She graduated Thomas Jefferson High School in 1965 and then moved back to Ohio where she got married, started a family and a successful career in Marketing and Public Relations. In 1976 Texas came calling so Bonnie packed up and moved back Texas- Houston and settled in the Memorial area for a few years until Katy called her and that was home. She was Marketing Manager for Tiffanys & Co. in the early 1980’s and then had her own Marketing Company. This past year she created a company called Life Lessons and Legacies where she was planning on empowering people to live a full reward driven lives through a lecture series and a book.
Bonnie loved her friends, playing Mexican Train, spending time with her grandkids and lit up a room with her infectious smile and positive manner. She always bragged her children were her biggest accomplishment but her grandchildren were her biggest joy.
