Bonnie I met you at DSS office in 1998 and since then we became a good friend.
I will keep all these memories in my heart:
Going out lunch with you , walking to Wright Brothers Monument and visiting each other p;aces. Also, we run into each other at OBX hospital and parking lot and catch up things.
You will surely be missed . May your soul rest in peace.

So sorry to hear about Bonnie. I took classes with her at COA and she was always laughing and had a bubbly personality. If we would run into each other out an about she would always speak and catch up on what was going in life and with family. Haven’t seen her in a while but I know she will be missed. Condolences to the family,

I first met Bonnie many years ago in a local exercise class.
In recent times I have spoken with her on several occasions and gotten to pray with her often. Even when it was obvious that she was struggling she always kept an upbeat and positive outlook.
I was truly sorrowful to see that she passed . My condolences to her family.

Bonnie was a awesome friend, Member of our church and just an all around person ! We laughed because she would say she was a year older than I was and I would say no just3/4 ! She will be missed! But we know she is free of pain and dancing and running through heaven .
