Mrs. Bonnie H Dudley

Born on March 1, 1924, to Clifton and Myrtle Hathcock in Arkansas. Married in 1943 to Marion Dudley, they made the Charleston area their home raising their four sons: Marion “Ted” Jr., Richard “Dicky”, Donnie “Bogater”, and Mark. They were attendees of Highland Park Baptist Church for 49 years, and they were well known and loved in their community. Bonnie worked at the Charleston Shipyard where she became an expert in shorthand writing. She proudly served alongside her husband during his terms as the Mayor of Hanahan. She was an amazing cook, though she didn’t enjoy the process of cooking. She simply enjoyed the fact that her food brought her friends and family together. She was an avid reader and very artistic through her cross stitching and quilting.

Bonnie was preceded in death by her parents, Clifton and Myrtle Hathcock, two sisters, Mary Billingsley and Marie Coleman, husband, Marion Dudley, and three sons, Richard Dudley, Donnie Dudley and Mark Dudley.
