I have connected all her siblings in FindAGrave except for her half-sister Hattie Jo Childress Manning (May 2, 1943 - Jan 8, 2018). Does anyone know where she is buried? Her obit does not say. Likely somewhere near Mt. Airy, Walnut Cove, or Winston-Salem, NC.
Bonnie's life story is included in the 2022 book "Childress Cousins: From the Hills and Hollows of Southern Virginia," by granddaughter Katherine R. Vestal. ISBN: 9798839269927
