BONNIE MARIE LENZ, 47, of Thomasville, Ga., died Monday at Archbold Memorial Hospital. A native of Cleveland, she moved to Thomasville last year from Tampa. She was a homemaker and member of the Epiphany of Our Lord Catholic Church. She is survived by a husband, two sons, John Ludwig and William Dallas, both of Thomasville; two daughters, Lisa Ann M., and Paula Hendy, her mother, Rose Minton of Tampa {deceased}; two brothers, Thomas Edward Minton of Tampa {deceased}and John Edward Bolte of New Port Richey; and eight grandchildren: Listed below:
Grandchildren:
Christine Michele, Bonnie Marie, and Patricia Ann {daughters of Lisa}; Danielle Cook, Danny Cook Jr., and Alicia Cook {daughters of Paula} Stephanie Lenz {born 5 weeks after Bonnie's passing} belonging to Crissy and William Dallas Lenz.
A new granddaughter Gracelynn born to John Ludwig & Ashley Lenz in 2019.
Great grandchildren: (Lisa's grandchildren)-include: Bayleigh Z. (belonging to Christine and Justin Shepard); Brianna Louise Thompson and Robert Thompson Jr.(belonging to Bonnie Marie and Robert Thompson); William Eugene B. (belonging to Patricia). Updated 07 August 2023.
She passed away from metastatic breast cancer. Diagnosed in August 1991 and passed away November 1992, only 15 months from diagnosis to passing. She was a great mother to me despite having to endure so many emotional hardships that caused her a great deal of stress and mental anguish because of just one person who was severely mentally ill... And he is not named here. My mother Bonnie was a very resilient, emotionally a very strong woman who spoke her mind, was of exceptional character, who's veracity was never questioned. I can only guess why God called her home and I believe that the events that transpired after her passing were reasons why God needed her in Heaven... I believe God put me into situations that would test my resolve, deepen my faith, and put my feet on a path to renew familial relationships. I trusted the wrong person, thought I was doing the right thing and I was taken advantage of over 20 years ago. I was naive and gullible, and I trusted this person's word. I stepped up to take care of a family member who didn't deserve my help and yet this family member is so affected by their demons that they are vindictive, conniving, judgmental, manipulative and one day they will be judged just as I will be judged by God... So that's why I removed their name from my mother's memorial. Everything I have written here is the Gods honest truth that can be verified with documentation from highly credible sources. "Mom, thank you and I thank God for the strength to endure the hardships of my life...You gave me a new sense of purpose and resolve and you always told me to never give up, to keep pushing through all the evil, strife, manipulation, vindictiveness and wickedness of this person... Thank you for the advice that I remembered through the years and yes you are right: Knowledge is Power. I love you Mother with all my heart and Soul". Love , Lisa.
