LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Jacquie was born Aug. 22, 1957, in Martinez, California.
She was the daughter of Cleburne Onnie Smith of Kingston, Arkansas and Nancy Packwood Smith of Nichols, California.
She was blessed with a childhood filled with adventure, living in multiple states including California, Arkansas, Texas, Alabama and Virginia, which instilled in her a passion for life that inspired those around her.
She graduated in 1975 from Marysville High School and married Gary Bonson in Marysville, California.
In 1984, they moved to Lake County, where she thrived in her 25-year career at UPS in Lakeport.
In 2012, she embarked on a new venture, co-founding a family-owned propane business, which became a testament to her determination.
Though Jacquie's life was unexpectedly cut short by a heart attack on Feb. 15, 2025, her legacy lives on.
