Bonnie G. Forrester

September 1, 1951 - March 25, 2022

Bonnie Glissmeyer Forrester, age 70, passed away on March 25, 2022, after a long battle with vascular dementia. Bonnie was born on September 1, 1951, in Salt Lake City to Paul Christian and Donna Stephens Glissmeyer. Bonnie grew up in Bountiful, Utah, and was the fourth of ten children in the Glissmeyer family. She loved them very much.

Bonnie married her high- school sweetheart, Brent Forrester, on January 10, 1974. Together, they had their beautiful daughters, Jennifer (John), Erin (Kevin), and bonus daughter Heather. Bonnie was an amazing mother and taught them the importance of being kind to others.
Bonnie had a long career with the phone company that expanded 30+ years. While there, she was the Head Programmer for Internal Communications during the 2002 Winter Olympic Games. She was also a proud member and Union Steward for CWA 7704. Bonnie found great joy in her work and made lifelong friends while there.

In her free time, Bonnie loved to attend concerts with Brent. She was also an avid University of Utah fan and enjoyed tailgating before football games with Brent and their best friends. Bonnie was blessed with seven grandchildren: Fiti, Vili (Katie), Kobey, McKenna, Ellie, Isabella, and Keira. She also greatly adored her two great-grandchildren, Aidden and Guinevere.

Bonnie was dearly loved and will greatly be missed.
