SUPERIOR
Bonnie Kay Buck, 59, of Barnes, Wis., died Tuesday, October 27, 2009, at her sister's home in Gheen, Minnesota.
She was born November 14, 1949 in Superior, daughter of Bernadine (DeRosia) and George Sletten.

Some of her other interests included wood crafting, the outdoors, wildlife (especially the wolf and eagle), snowmobiling, 4 wheeling, picking berries, camping, swimming, being a first responder (she has saved several lives), and visiting the casinos. Furthermore, she was always concerned about others before herself.
Preceding her in death was her mother, Bernadine Sletten; and brother, Timothy Sletten.
