The Brougtons were like a second family through high school. I spent many an hour watching football, movies and eating pizza! Some great times! Prayers for the rest of the family!

I am so sorry for the loss of Jean. She was a sweet and courageous woman and always had a smile. She bowled with me as a team member and a sub on High Noon Ladies League and usually bested us all! Both of us were avid readers and traded books. I miss seeing her at the bowling alley and will remember her fondly. Virginia Morrow

My mother was one of kind. She never met a stranger and tried to help everyone she could. Mom often asked why God kept her here on earth, after Cancer, Brain Surgery, Broke Hip, and then a Broke Wrist, naturally her left one, the one she wrote with. I told her everyday that she was here for me. I needed her love, her hugs, and words of wisdom, and sometimes her crazy way of trying to make me laugh. Which that became more often in the past few months.We have such a huge and wonderful family and me and my family are truly blessed. She practically help raise my two daughters, and helped with several nieces and nephews when they were young. Mom was strong and stern but so loving.I remember when me and my brother were in our teens, we were at each other constantly, and we both ran from mom down the hallway at our house. She was right behind us with a broom. We both got the doors shut, but we have laughed about that for years and years. There is so many good memories and I thank God for the time I had before she passed.Love you Mom and I will miss you deeply. Say hello to Karen, Grandma and Grandaddy, Buddy, and several other family members. I will never forget you and will see again.

Whether you knew her as Bonnie or Jean, you loved her and knew she loved you in return. Her most treasured moments were with family and friends, especially Truman and the children. Although Bonnie's laughter will no longer ring in our ears, it will always echo in our hearts. Bonnie's hand will no longer touch ours but her wisdom will lead us forever. Bonnie never, ever complained though her journey was not an easy one. Those of us who were guided by her will cherish the memories and move forward as better people for knowing her. Bonnie lives on in all who ever knew her because we all were given the same love, kindness, and understanding and are expected to pass it on. I am especially blessed to be the wife of Bonnie and Truman's oldest son, Lynn, and Mother of her oldest grandchildren, and Grandmother to six of her great-grands. All of this enabled me to be one of the girls.It is my prayer that God will bless and keep Truman, Lynn, Diane, and Gary in this time of devastating loss, as well as, all the family and friends who she loved so very much. For everyone who could not reach Bonnie because she and I were in the middle of our frequent, and rather lengthy conversations, they will no longer tie up the phone lines but they are ongoing!With prayers and love to everyone.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Jean was my mother-in-law, but she always considered and treated me as her daughter. I loved her very much and learned a great deal from her. She will be missed.

After reading the obituary, I wanted to take a minute to extend my condolence on your loss. even though I didn't know Bonnie, I do know the feelings of despair that comes from losing a loved one. It is my sincere wish, that the many fond memories you no doubt shared will always bring smiles to your faces until the time that God's promises for the earth will become a reality. Isaiah 25:8; Psalm 37:11,29.
