Bonnie was born in Wisconsin Rapids on September 22, 1945, to the late Harold and Frances (Schenk) Andraska. She attended Catholic schools in Wisconsin Rapids, graduating from Assumption High School. Following graduation, she continued her education at St. Mary’s School of Nursing in Madison, earning her Registered Nurse license. She worked at various hospitals throughout her nursing career, including UCLA Medical Center, Bellin Hospital and Holy Family Hospital. In addition to her work as a nurse, Bonnie was also a licensed beautician and a Jafra cosmetics representative.

In her younger years, Bonnie enjoyed playing the piano and flute, baton twirling, and ballet. As time went on, she found joy in knitting, basket weaving, gardening fresh vegetables, going to yearly rummage sales, and attending Jazzercise classes.
