Bonnie had numerous careers throughout her life before finally retiring as a Pharmacy Technician at Revco Pharmacy. She was a member of AE Shirley #986 Order of the Eastern Star and a lifelong member of the PTA.
Bonnie loved her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and her family fiercely..especially her only grandson Michael. She also enjoyed playing Nintendo, drinking Sprite Zero, and watching her Dallas Cowboys. For her talent of crocheting, she was given the nickname “The Hat Lady” in tribute to the hundreds of hats, scarves, and afghans she crocheted and donated to local Amarillo ministries.
Most who knew Bonnie called her Nan..a nickname she loved.

She also leaves behind her very special friend and honorary sister Nelda Silvers, as well as many other family and beloved friends.
The family suggests memorials be made to the MS Society, Alzheimer’s Association, or your favorite charity. The family would like to thank Dr. John Richard Chandler and his staff for all of their years of care and support. A special gratitude is expressed to family friend Jeannie Wyble.
