 Bonnie's life was marked by her unwavering love for family and her dedication to her work and community. For 17 years, Bonnie served as a bookkeeper for the Collinsville Sale Barn, where her skills were invaluable. Together with her husband, James F. (Jim) Williams, she also engaged in hauling cattle for customers, showcasing their strong partnership anchored in both love and shared endeavors. Bonnie’s commitment to her work was paralleled by her deep affection for her family, and she embraced every moment of her life with warmth and joy. Bonnie was a proud graduate of Avant High School, having walked miles along the railroad tracks and crossed the Bird Creek footbridge to catch the bus to school, a testament to her resilience and determination. Throughout her life, she displayed a vibrant personality—she was a frisky fisty little lady who was loved by everyone she met. Her sharp wit and humor brought joy to those around her. In addition to her professional achievements, Bonnie was known for her artistic talents, particularly in sewing and quilting. She created many beautiful quilts that were cherished by friends and family alike, embodying her creativity and thoughtfulness. Her love for country music and children further highlighted her nurturing spirit. Bonnie's journey through life was filled with love and kindness, and her family and friends will cherish countless memories of her laughter and light.
