In nearly 54 years of marriage they faced all the adventure, joy, and hardships of this life while raising their three children, Kimberly, Traci, and Aaron. She loved the outdoors and especially fishing with her family, camping trips to the cabin on Cedar Mountain, and a good water fight or fire to sit around. Bonnie is preceded in death by her husband John Clifton Bonzo Jr., her parents Elmer and Merle Morgan, her brother Kelly Morgan, and her son in law Johnny Patel (Kimberly). She is survived by her three children, Kimberly Ann Bonzo Patel, Traci Linn Bonzo Wood (J. Stewart Wood jr.), Aaron James Bonzo (Shandy Bonzo), and her four grandchildren, S.

The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude and deep appreciation to the many staff members at Mount Olympus Rehabilitation Center for the care, love, support, and most of all friendship they provided over the final years of Bonnie’s life. Bonnie, you had the biggest heart and greatest impact on the many lives you touched throughout your years. You will be missed more than words could express but are now free from your earthly limitations and free to laugh, love, roam, and explore to your heart’s content.
