  • Parkin was born in Murray, Utah, and spent much of her young life with her four siblings on her family's farm in Herriman, Utah. Money was tight, and Bonnie says her teeth remain crooked because her family didn't have money to buy braces. Rural upbringing taught Bonnie the value of work, and she went on to earn a bachelor's degree in elementary education and early childhood development from Utah State University in Logan, Utah. In 1963 she married Jim Parkin and later moved to Seattle for Jim's medical residency at the University of Washington. Jim became an ear, nose, and throat surgeon, and Bonnie kept busy raising four sons. She was active in her local PTA, serving as president, and also volunteered for reading and tutoring programs. Bonnie believes she has had many experiences that have helped her prepare for service in the Relief Society. "...she has been single, in the workforce, had children and now grandchildren. She has seen the terrible twos and troubled teens. She has nursed a mother after a stroke and a father with cancer. She has sent sons on missions to foreign lands and welcomed daughters-in-law into her embrace. She has known farm life and school life and city life and non-American life. She has seen close-up the effects of alcohol, disbelief, illness and disappointment.... 'I know what it means to have a husband gone for many hours a week, days on end. I know how it feels to be alone with young children with no one to talk to.' "
