Elizabeth Rae Morning was born Aug. 31, 1927, in Monticello, Iowa. She was the daughter of Carl and Mary Postel Morning. Bunny graduated from the Monticello Community Schools in 1946. She moved to Cedar Rapids and became one the first "Meter Maids" in the city. She later worked at Link Belt Speeder until she retired.
