Bonnie was born on June 30, 1947, in Freeport, IL, the daughter of Carl Otto and Veda Willamena Ida (Hess) Heidenreich.  They lived in Apple River, IL.

Bonnie and Jerry Lopp met at the Warren Fair in 1960.  They dated for two years and were married on September 2, 1962, in Scales Mound, at the United Methodist Church.  To this union three daughters were born, Penny, Becky and Jami.  They were married for 55 years until Jerry's death on May 11, 2018.
