Bonnie Lautzenheiser

She was an avid fan of the Cincinnati Reds and the Parkway basketball games. She and some of her friends organized a Couponing Club, where they would get together once a month at one of their homes and swap coupons and have fun! Those were the days when they had the double and triple coupons and could actually get items free!
She loved to bake and was famous for her delicious cloverleaf rolls. Most of all she enjoyed spending time with her family, and especially her grand and great grandchildren.
