In Memory of Bunnie Koenings .....
Bernadette (Bunnie) Koenings passed away on April 7, 2011 at the age of 91. She was raised in Slinger, WI and graduated with a Masters Degree from UW-Madison. She spent her entire career in public education. She worked within Elmbrook from 1955-1982 as a guidance counselor at both Brookfield East and Brookfield Central High School. She is remembered as a very dedicated educator who maintained high standards as a professional educator and in her personal life. Her contributions to the students of Elmbrook (some of whom are currently educators in Elmbrook) were significant. She was active in sports and outdoor activities and particularly enjoyed swimming and gardening along with many dogs over her long life.
