Bonnie was born on October 1, 1946 in Mpls, MN to Celestine “Sally” (Walstrom) Collins. She attended Washburn High School in Mpls graduating in 1964. She began her career in the banking industry shortly thereafter. Through determination and hard work, she furthered her career from a messenger girl to various high level executive positions. She ended her career in the areas of bank acquisitions and data conversions. She met and married the love of her life and soul mate James “Jim” Deters in December of 1971. Bonnie and Jim spent the next 36 years loving each other and everyone around them, living life to the fullest. Bonnie loved to read and travel, but mostly enjoyed spending time at Locke Lake with Jim, family, friends, and neighbors, particularly the last 11 months in their newly built dream home. Though Bonnie and Jim never had children of their own, they embraced all of their nephews, nieces, and great-nephews and great-nieces as their own. Bonnie was a dedicated member of her church, energetic member of the Lions Club, and was actively involved in Families Moving Forward throughout the communities. She was a mentor to other women with breast cancer and a participant in the Cancer Club.
Bonnie is survived by her loving husband of 36 years, Jim; brothers and sisters, James (Margaret) Collins, Sharon (Bruce) Janowiec, Judith (Paul) Stitzel, Thomas (Melissa) Collins; numerous nephews and nieces.
She was preceded in death by her mother, Sally Collins.
Bonnie brought love and strength to everyone, and will be greatly missed by all.
Memorials are preferred to the Plymouth Lions Club and Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

Bonnie will live forever in our memories. She was a bright, energetic person and a friend to all she met. She will be missed.
Bless you, I will miss you dearly.
I first got to know Bonnie during a bank acquisition and she was our conversion manager and boy could she make people march. Bonnie was such a joy to know and to work with. She could always difuse a tense situation and bring smiles to peoples faces. She could always make us laugh. She will be sorely missed. May you have many wonderful memories! Carol
My deepest sympathies to you and your family. I worked with Bonnie at USBank for many years. I am also trying to be a cancer survivor and currently undergoing chemo thereapy. While I would have liked to have come to the ceremony today, it was not feasible for me to do so. My prayers are with you and Bonnie.
I worked with and for Bonnie at Marquette Bank. She was a great boss and a great person. She will be missed by all that knew her.
Bonnie is and was a wonderful person. Her zest and spunk for life has made a lasting impression on our family. She would always bring a smile to our faces.
We all will miss you at the lake.
