She was a member of Highland Baptist Church since 1995. Bonnie enjoyed doing volunteer work in nursing homes, retirement homes and many other places. She loved singing gospel music with various groups over the years, and with her husband Robert, or just alone! Bonnie loved people and had many friends. Her talents were many including cooking and quilting. However, Bonnie’s greatest joy was being Granny! There was nothing she enjoyed more than spending time with her grandchildren!
