Bonnie was such a wonderful women. I grew up going to Dry Creek church where she could play us any song on request in any key. She always welcomed me with a big hug no matter how many years went by. Prayers for comfort to Ronnie and all family.

What a special lady. The last time I saw her (not very long ago) we parted with: “I love you.” She made everyone’s life brighter just by knowing her. She will be missed greatly.

I went to school & attended Dry Creek Baptist Church with Bonnie all throughout my childhood . She always had a warm smile & was there to lend a helping hand. Bonnie will be dearly missed as she embarks on her Final Journey to be with the Lord.

I am saddened that another kind and wonderful individual was taken from us. But think of the joy she is now experiencing. I worked with her for 6 years and enjoyed every minute knowing her. My heart goes out to all she left behind.

I worked with Bonnie at the Horse Trader back around 2000. I hate to hear of her passing. She was such a sweetheart.
Most remember me from the Horse Trader float in the West Plains Christmas Parade. Ronnie was driving Mr. Neathery’s Rolls Royce (Santa’s Other Sleigh). It was a convertible so we were driving with the top down. I was riding on the top. Ronnie accidently gunned it around a corner and I went flying end over end. I was OK but Ronnie was upset. Everyone was laughing so hard!!!
We always had a great time working together.
