Bonnie was one of the best people I've had the privilege to knowing. She was so caring about everyone. She married my cousin Sunny. What a great blessing it was to have her has a part of our family. My favorite thing about her has and will always be that stunning smile and personality that could make a bad day bright again. She was one of those amazing few that could light up every room she walked into. Bonnie I love you, shine bright.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Hello, Bonnie’s family. I am so sorry to hear about your sweet mother‘s death. I only knew her for a short time, but I loved her as if we knew each other for a lifetime. She is so sweet and so pretty. Such a small little thing. And I met her the first time at the Kingdom Hall here in Abilene and she looked like a little private investigator. She was wearing a light beige trenchcoat. I remember going up to her after the meeting and introducing myself. I didn’t know she had been a beautician. Her hair was always looking so pretty . She would tell me stories about when y’all would go to the conventions and assemblies. The last time we talked, we were trying to figure out how to get each other to the meetings. She told me she could only drive in the daytime and go to morning meetings. So we were going to go to the 10 o’clock morning meetings, regardless of which Congregation. We had fun talking and boy she was a talker! Please do not hesitate to call me or email me for any reason. And at any time. My phone number is 325-273-0487. My email is janieflores9411@gmail.com.

Bonnie and I were cousins about the same age,she was my bridesmaid at my wedding 61 years ago..I was blessed to be able to talk to her after she lost Sonny,as I knew what she was going through as I had lost my husband to Covid in 2020.
We talked most time a couple of hours at a time.i will greatly miss my favorite cousin and our long talks about our childhood in Big Spring.
She was so proud of her boys,and told me how helpful they were to her.i have only daughters so we couldn’t compare just decided that we had the best children anyone could ever have.
She is with God because there was never a nicer, kinder ,caring person anywhere!.
