Administrative Assistant -
Bonnie Hurley
Bonnie
was born in central Illinois and spent a wonderful childhood on Lake
Decatur; swimming, water skiing, and generally getting way too much sun. A
rebellious '60s flower child (since somewhat reformed),
Bonnie graduated from Illinois State with a degree in
Comprehensive Business Education. That degree led to several different jobs,
from corn de-tasseling to grain elevator manager to elementary and middle
school teacher, with a stint as a farm wife along the way. In 2007, upon
the retirement of Sharon Butterfield, Bonnie became the Administrative
Assistant at Long Lake Lutheran Church. Bonnie has also bred, raised, and shown
dogs for many years working with many breeds, although Westies are her love.
Bonnie has lived in a number of states and countries, but does not want to
leave the Wisconsin that she has fallen in love with. God
guided me with life experiences for my place here at Long Lake Lutheran, and I
will be forever thankful for His hand in my life.
