Bonnie Aileen Murray was born on October 31st, 1955 to Arnold and Elnor Murray. She was raised in Sioux Falls, and graduated from Lincoln High School in 1972. She worked with her family at Murray Construction, Murray Properties for 45 years. In those 45 years she worked with SF Housing, developing Multi-Family housing and aiding Housing and Urban Development to provide affordable housing for families in need. She was a pioneer in the industry, with her father and siblings. At the time of their retirement, they had over 500 housing units, and over 30 commercial spaces, including two historical buildings in Downtown Sioux Falls.

After her retirement in 2015, Bonnie enjoyed gardening and cooking with her grandchildren, Shelby and Casey, traveling with her best friend of 30+ years, Paula Koch, and spending time with her sister, Teri, nephew, Chad, and daughter, Ellison, playing card games and board games. She had many talents, including playing the piano and teaching her grandchildren how to crochet. Bonnie was an involved volunteer with CASA in Sioux Falls, and also helped her daughter develop and run a commercial rental unit in Brandon, SD, until her passing.

Bonnie will be deeply missed by her daughter, Ellison (Billy) Cutrer, Garretson; two grandchildren who were her entire world, Shelby and Casey; three siblings, Teri (James) Nace, Estelline, SD, James Murray, Sioux Falls, and Wayne Murray, AZ; several nieces and nephews; several grand-nieces and grand-nephews including Marcus and Aiden Nace; and her very special friend, Paula Koch, Beresford.

Bonnie was preceded in death by her parents, Arnold and Elnor (Gilman) Murray; and one sister-in-law, JoAnn Murray.
