Bonnie’s favorite times in life were those spent with her grandchildren. She loved teaching them to cook and bake cookies, but most of all teaching them the true meaning of love and respect.

She loved playing the organ at Greenridge Missionary Baptist Church. She also crocheted many baby blankets for little ones that were born to family members and to friends and gave them with love.

In lieu of flowers the family would like donations to be made to Greenridge Missionary Baptist Church.
