Born to the late Thomas and Mae Buller on Feb. 15, 1949, she was the beloved mother of Tom Latzke (Lindsey) and loving grandmother to their daughters, Vivienne and Elaina, all of St. Louis, Missouri. She was preceded in death by her two brothers, Terry Buller and Tom Buller (Sandy).  She was a loving aunt to Heather (Paul) Conroy and Thomas (Heather) Buller. She also cherished her relationship with Sarah Latzke, daughter of Thomas and Sumalee Latzke.

She loved rooting on her Cubbies, watching Survivor, all things Arizona, and spending time with neighbors, friends and family. Throughout her life and her career, she got to know and help so many people in the community. She was always ready to help a friend and never expected anything in return.

Rather than a traditional service, she wished for friends and family to gather and celebrate life with one another in remembrance.

Memorials may be made in memory of Bonnie to her favorite charity, the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The family also expresses its gratitude to the caring and compassionate professionals at St. Thomas Hospice and Plymouth Place.
