Bonne Perry


Bonne Lu Perry, , died Nov. 24, 2021, at Sheridan Memorial Nursing Home in Plentywood. She was born March 26, 1929, to Glenn and Mabel (Scriven) Harris in Miles City. In her early years, she lived on a ranch south of Miles City with her older sister, Wanda Wankel. Their mother died of an aneurysm at 31 and they lived on the ranch with their father for another year. Their father, Glenn, decided the girls would be better off with his sister in Conrad. At the age of seven, Bonne moved to Havre where she lived with Bert and Al Perry. In retrospect, they wished they had kept the girls together. From this point on, she and Wanda didn’t see each other often and this ignited a longtime desire to be together. She attended college in Missoula acquiring a bachelors and masters degrees in English, drama and education and, upon graduation, she taught at Whitefish, then Great Falls. At age 30, she began teaching in Long Island, N.Y., where she was an accomplished director for 10 years. In 1967, she moved back to Montana with sister, Wanda, and family on the Wankel family farm near Raymond. After three years, she moved to Wolf Point, starting a second career in social work. She then moved to Sidney, where she became director of social services for Roosevelt, Daniels and Sheridan counties. She retired to Sheridan County in the early 2000s, then moved to the Pioneer Manor to be with her sister, Wanda. She was a huge fan of Daniel O’Donnell and Lawrence Welk and her favorite color was blue. She was also a devoted member of People’s Congregational Church in Sidney. There will be a graveside committal at 1 p.m. Friday, Dec. 3, at the Huffman-Wankel Cemetery, one mile west of the Wankel farm.
