Bunnie lived in Smithville until she was 8-1/2 years old. In the summer of 1942, the family returned to her mother’s birth place, Lockhart, Texas. It was the beginning of World War II.
In the fall of 1950, Bunnie made her profession of faith in Christ at First Baptist Church. Baptism was several weeks later. Bunnie, age 17, committed her life to Christ at the 1950 New Years Eve program at church. That commitment remained until her passing.

Bunnie was a member of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas, Martin Wells Chapter since 1985. She documented and then wrote a book on the history of the German Texan ancestors’ lives, they having come to Texas from Germany between 1835 and 1846. The book, entitled “Zur Erinerung”, meaning “In Remembrance” was taken from the back of one of her Great Grandfather Anton Pieper’s Certificate of being Comal County Commissioner, written there after his passing by his wife, Johanna Pieper.
