Bonnie Jean Glismann

April 27, 1932 ~ October 26, 2014

Bonnie Jean Glisman, 82, passed away with her daughter Linda at her side on Sunday, October 26, 2014.  She was born on April 27, 1932 to Goldie and Alan Bucher in Ogden, Utah.  She earned her diploma from Ogden High School in 1950.  She attended Weber State College earning an associate degree.

She married Richard “Dick” Glismann on September 12, 1952 and they shared 57 years together.

Shortly after Bonnie and Richard were married they started collecting a variety of rocks which became a lifelong passion for them.

Together they traveled extensively throughout the U.S. attending rock shows and visiting their many friends all in their beloved fifth wheel trailer.

Bonnie went back to school and received her teaching certificate.  As a teacher at Burch Creek and Uintah Elementary Schools she passed on the love of rocks to her students.  Many of her formal pupils still cherish their egg carton rock collections. She truly earned the title of “Rock Lady”.  Richard and Bonnie donated their extensive collection of rocks to the Dinosaur Park Museum.

Bonnie was a born leader and was an energetic member and president of several organizations including Elim Lutheran Women’s Association, Theta Chapter of DKG, Golden Spike Gem and Mineral Society, and Intermountain Faceters Guild.

She was an active member of Elim Lutheran Church.

Bonnie leaves a legacy for her daughter, Linda (Alan), Cusick, WA and son, Rich (Carol), Sterling, VA; grandsons, Garret and Jordan Hyde, and Warren (Bethany) and Andrew Glismann.

She was preceded in death by her husband, and daughter, Gayle and a brother Jim.
