She was united in marriage to John R. Bovee on January 8, 1966, creating a union that would span over 60 years and many memories.

Also surviving are her siblings, Barry (Pat) Bohnow, David (Julie) Bohnow, and Jan (Pat) Zileski; along with many other extended family members and close friends. In her younger days, Bunny enjoyed Powder Puff racing, taking the checkered flag once. She enjoyed crocheting, going bowling, and playing both softball and volleyball.

In addition to her parents, Bunny was preceded in death by her son, John Bovee, Jr.; siblings, Bill Bohnow, Kevin Bohnow, and Jon Bohnow; and sister in-law, Vivian Bohnow.
