Bonnie graduated from Sweetwater (Texas) High School and went on to attend Western Texas College. She then moved to West Helena, Arkansas, where she attended, graduated and worked at Phillips County Community College. It was in Helena that she met the love of her life, Jim Edd, when they were both attending the same college ministry Sunday School party.

Bonnie was an active volunteer with many interest and hobbies. She was a preschool Sunday School teacher, a parent volunteer at her son’s schools and a tireless and devoted 4-H “mom” for years. She had many hobbies including sewing, crochet, and crafting, but she was especially gifted at cooking and quilting. She won many Arkansas State Fair ribbons for her cooking and baking, and her beautiful quilts will continue to bring joy and warmth to her family and friends.

Interment will be in the Mulberry Cemetery outside England, Arkansas.  The date for a grave side service is pending.
