Bonnie Todt, a Friends of the Gates Public Library board member, was a tireless library advocate. She volunteered multiple times per week at the bookstore and at book sales. An avid reader, she never missed a book sale. She was an animal lover who opened her home to rescues. Bonnie was a gentle soul with an infectious smile who always put others needs before her own. She will be sorely missed.
