We have received word from Clark Curtin who spoke to her daughter that Bonnie (Mock) Schroeder passed away on  July 15, 2020.

Although I lost track of her once I left Trona she was a good and close friend and neighbor  while I was growing up. This is sad news for me. I offer my prayers and well wishes to her family and friends.
