Born Bonnie Louise Brandt on February 23rd, 1949 in Norristown, she
was the youngest of three children of Marlin and Betty
Brandt. She graduated from Norristown High School and Indiana
University. In September 1968 she was married to James G

Jim Wilson Jr. and Andy Wilson. In 1974 the Wilson's moved

began to work more on her golf game, eventually getting down to a
16 handicap. Once they settled in Florida, Bonnie began
pursuing a career in real estate. In 2011 working for The
Villages, Bonnie was involved in closing 29 transactions, a figure
she was very proud of and expecting to build upon heading into
2012.
