Bonnie was a faithful member of Trinity United Methodist Church in Ronceverte, WV, and the Lady’s Circle. She was a 4-H Leader and Brownie Girl Scout Leader for her children, as well as the neighborhood children. Friends and family alike looked forward to her spaghetti dinners. When you crossed the threshold of her house, she would always ask if you wanted something to eat or drink, until you said yes. Bonnie worked in retail sales for 40 plus years. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.
A thank you to her caregiver and friend, Sherrie Canterbury, and close family friend and neighbor, Terri Johnson.
