Bonnie L. Wang Bosben, age 81 of Menomonie, passed away on Monday, May 9, 2016 at The Neighbors of Dunn County in Menomonie. Bonnie Lou Sundstrom was born on March 3, 1935 to Ernst & Lillie (Tandy) Sundstrom in Colfax. Bonnie’s love of music was evident by her extensive record collection that she shared over the years with her children. Her passion for cooking and baking led her on to become head cook for The Bolo Inn for many years. She loved creating and compiling recipes including family favorites. She would put a book of them together for each of her children. Another great talent was her ability to sew; not only did she make clothes for herself, but she would provide them to her entire family. Bonnie loved spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren. She was a sweet, caring, loving individual to all who came into her life. She will be greatly missed and continually loved by all.
