She taught in single-room schoolhouses for Shelby County Schools and also worked as a secretary in California. She married Eugene Mathew (Dane) Peterson on June 23, 1945 in Portsmouth, IA during a furlough from his World War II Naval service. Their marriage produced five children: Mary Janelle, Vance, Laurel, Jay, and Aimee. Bonnie and Dane lived in Harlan, where Janelle was born, until 1950. In the coming years, the family grew in each of the cities where they lived: Sioux Rapids, IA (Vance), St. Louis, MO (Laurel and Jay), and Harlan (Aimee). Upon their return to Harlan in 1959, Bonnie and Dane raised their children, enjoyed extended family, and started Peterson Gas (a propane fuel business). As the business grew it was relocated north of Harlan, on Highway 59, in 1970. The family business expanded to include the 59'er Steakhouse and Lounge in 1979 and the 59'er Motel in 1992. After decades of service to the surrounding communities, the family businesses were sold in 1998. Bonnie moved to Marquis Place in Elkhorn, NE in 2018 to be closer to her children.
