Lavonne was born on September 15, 1942, in Albert Lea, MN to Ruben and Igean (Trytten) Oakland. She attended Glenville High School. She was a member of the First Lutheran Church in Glenville where she was confirmed. Later she met the love of her life Curtis Anderson (Corky), and they were married on April 8, 1961, at the First Lutheran Church in Glenville. Together they had four children.

She was a loving mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. She loved to bake and was a great cook. If you ever wanted a Sunday dinner, there was always one waiting. Corky and Bonnie had many dogs throughout the years that they loved just like family.

LaVonne worked at Ventura Foods for 31 years, retiring in 2002.

She enjoyed crocheting, watching, and feeding birds. Bonnie and Corky enjoyed watching the squirrels play from their deck on the lovely farm where they spent their last 34 years together. They loved to have company and get into a good game of cards. The coffee pot was always on for guests (her brother Robert and wife Darlene). She enjoyed talking on the phone and had many great conversations with friends Beverly Johnson and Lonny Broitzman.

Bonnie will be dearly missed by all those that knew her.
