If you stopped at Bonnie’s house, you knew that you would be there for a while. She always wanted visitors to have a seat at her kitchen table and talk over a cup of coffee, or she’d want company to share a meal with her. Bonnie was always cooking something. She was very wise and intuitive, and if she gave you advice, you’d be wise to listen. If she liked you, you were her friend for life. She was a second mother to so many people, and she will be dearly missed.

A funeral service will be held at 1pm on Tuesday, October 15, 2024, in the EBRIGHT FUNERAL HOME, Frankfort, with Phil and Cynthia Collie officiating. Burial will follow in Greenlawn Cemetery, Frankfort. Friends are invited to gather at the funeral home on Tuesday from 11am until the time of service.
