Bonnie was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. She loved fiercely and unconditionally. Her greatest joys were her family and especially her grandchildren. She loved fishing, watching jeopardy & CNN (detective work and fixing anyone's problems; asked or not lol), singing outrageously, stalking, and commenting multiple times per post on our Facebook, traveling the country with her grandchildren, and watching them play sports. She found true joy in just watching them enjoy life. She truly was their proudest fan.

 

There will forever be a void in her absence. Until we see you again Mamaw, may you Rest in Peace. We love you.
