Bonnie Jean Puckett

She was born on April 9, 1944 in Boston, Massachusetts, to Earl P. and Audrey F. (Matthews) Libby of Windsor, Maine. She graduated from Jeremiah E Burke High School in Dorchester, Mass. She had been employed by Shaw’s supermarket in Freeport and Wal-Mart in Augusta. Her hobbies were reading, crocheting and playing board and card games and late night phone calls with Tracy. One of Mom’s favorite sayings was “only believe half of what you see and none of what you hear”. She will be best remembered as a loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.

Bonnie was preceded by her parents and both her brothers Wayne P. Libby of Randolph and Paul K. Libby of Windsor. Bonnie is survived by her five children: Cheryl L. Wood of Augusta, Gary B. Puckett and his wife Linda of Chelsea, Richard W. Puckett and his wife Joanne of Rumford, Rebecca L. Puckett and her lifelong partner Wilbur Austin of Winslow, and Keith D. Rado and his husband Alberto of Freeport, Maine. Special nieces Kandi Sue Libby and Anjannette Libby of Geneva, FL. And closest friend Annette Keenan of New Smyrna Beach, FL.

She has nine grandchildren: Justin Rado and his wife Jordan of New York, Alyssa Watson and her husband Eric of Freeport, Autumn Puckett and her partner Mike of South Paris, Dustin Austin and his wife Sadie of Readfield, William Austin, Lacey Puckett, Tyler Puckett of Chelsea, Johnny Wood and his wife Emily and Chantelle Dumas. She has twenty-five great grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.

The family would like to thank Chans Hospice for all the care and compassion they shared with Bonnie and her family while in their care. Bonnie always got the biggest smile when her loving CNA Kim Ruby walked through the door and also Chans volunteer Lola to play her favorite board game.

A celebration of life will be held at her home in Freeport on June 9, 2024 from 1:00-3:00pm.
