Bonnie was born in 1936 in Raleigh, MS to Lorenzo Dow and Lyda Mae Bryant, and graduated from Raleigh High School. In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by sister, Mildred Raye Bryant Kennedy and Sue Bryant Williams, and husbands Prentice Aldridge and Andrew McLain. She is survived by stepson Charles Aldridge, Montgomery, AL, brother L.D. Bryant, Jr., Ovett, MS, nephew David Bryant, Columbia, TN, nieces Patricia Bryant Howard, Chattanooga, TN, Carolyn Williams Duren, Cody, WY, and Nancy Williams, Flowood, MS.
Mrs. McLain moved to Montgomery in the late 1970’s with her husband, Prentice Aldridge, where they operated a small furniture store. After Mr. Aldridge’s death, she married Andrew McLain. Bonnie will be lovingly remembered by family and friends as a loving, caring friend, sister and aunt as well as a great cook who loved to entertain. Visits to her home were always met with a good meal and good time.
