Bonnie Burris

In memory of Bonnie Burris who was an amazing wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. She had an unshakable walk with Christ that filled her life, and was shared with everyone she met. Bonnie had a burning desire to help others, something she gave to the world until her last day. The past few years she spent in Florida which gave her a break from the cold and allowed her family to finally take care of her. The time spent and bonds created during this time were woven with the peace and grace of God. Bonnie was loved by everyone who knew her, and changed the lives of those she came in contact with. She was ready to go home, her longing to be reunited with her family and the Lord she served was proudly anticipated. Bonnie has suffered physically most of her life, and certainly withstood more than most could bare emotionally. This never changed her character. She only grew in her dependence on God, the dignity with which she lived her life, and the peace she exuded while facing her final days. It is an honor to know someone as Bonnie. She taught the world how to love, and that although is rains on the just, God is still good. Service for Bonnie Burris will be held on Friday, July 14, 2017 in Knoxville, TN at Berry Lynnhurst Funeral Home, 2300 Adair Drive at 1:00 pm.
