All those that had the privilege of knowing Bonnie, knew she was the kindest, most giving and loving person you would ever meet. Please know that you were truly blessed to have her in your life.
She will be greatly missed, although we shall find peace in sharing the wonderful memories she blessed us all with through her strong Christian faith. Her love for the Lord should now comfort us all in knowing she is with Him.
Bonnie enjoyed dancing, traveling, Bible study, Sunday Church service and especially the beach. She loved the outdoors and her evening strolls with her faithful companion, Lolly.
Some of her major achievements included a very successful career at General Electric that spanned 30+ years. After retiring, she became a volunteer at New Hanover Medical Center and then a book store steward at UNCW Campus in Wilmington, North Carolina.
Everyone who knew Bonnie is well aware that her favorite color was pink, pink and more pink. The family requests that all who love Bonnie wear something pink in her honor on the day of her memorial.
Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared at www.LambertFuneral.com for the Rhodes family.
