(Brownie) and Harriet (French) Browne, Bonnie lived most of the first 50 years of her life in Grosse Pointe Farms, MI. She received her Bachelor’s degree from the University of Michigan and while teaching full time and raising two children she earned her Master’s degree from Wayne State University.
