Bonnie June Palmer Bartholomew Sherfey was the daughter of William Clinton and Gertrude Grace Palmer

June was raised along with eight other siblings on a dry farm in Heglar. School time was accomplished on horseback and attendance was short lived, but June managed to graduate from the eighth grade. Since there were nine siblings and only two boys, June, along with sister, Edna, spent summers herding sheep on the farm and the mountains of Heglar Canyon and vicinity, doing farm chores and helping their father accomplish the tasks of rural farm life.

Bonnie June married Alonzo Lee Bartholomew in 1940; from this union, five children were born, Alta Lee (Jay) Holstine, Alonzo Leon Bartholomew, Reita Fern (Ordell) Simper, Bonnie Rae Bartholomew (deceased) and Carma June (Vern) Buss.

While raising her children, June spent several years working as a waitress in American Falls at Rogers cafe, Log Cabin Cafe and Poleiges Cafe. June and Lee divorced in 1958, and June moved to Burley and again used her waitress talents to please patrons at Nelson's Cafe.

She married Delbert Sherfey on Feb. 14, 1968.

June is survived by her children, 10 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, husbands, two brothers, four sisters.
