I was born and raised in Cincinnati and who was one of my neighbors?
Bonnie Lou.
Shortly after moving in to her new house, they added a swimming pool.
Mitt Okum operated a furniture store in Cheviot Ohio which is part of Cincinnati.
After her retirement from WLWT, the Okums moved to Pigeon Forge, Tn and operated a restaurant which also featured country music. Although I never visited the place.
As it was not noted here, Bonnie Lou was also a regular on the WLWT show "The 700 Club", which was hosted by Ruth Lyons.
I believe you have this Bonnie Lou mixed up with Bonnie Lou and Buster Moore, a duo which performed in Pigeon Forge, among other places.

Pronunciation
Bonnie Lou's original middle name is pronounced "Jo-Anne." What is the Wikipedia protocol for showing that? Maybe someone who knows how can do it.

Someone with no knowledge always comes along to "improve" entries. Bonnie Lou was her performing name. Her last name was never "Lou," and it is inappropriate to refer to her as Lou. The AP made the same mistake. As the entry makes clear, her last name was Okum, and nobody in life referred to her as "Lou."
