Bonnie graduated from Grandview High School in 1955. Bonnie married Andy Leroy Oberly on 7/4/1957. They had four children, Ricky Leroy, Billy Dale, Alvin Dean and Rodney Gene. Bonnie worked many places, including Head Start, where she cooked and served lunch to the children in town, many of which still called her “Miss Bonnie” until the day she died. She also worked at Thatcher’s, second hand stores and held many garage sales. Bonnie made cakes for many people for many events, including birthdays, graduations and weddings. She was a VFW Auxiliary member for many years, and also volunteered with Habitat for Humanity many times. Bonnie had a very caring and loving nature, always having breakfast prepared for her sons and grandsons and anyone else who stopped by. No one left Bonnie’s house hungry. Bonnie gave selflessly and was a faithful believer in Christ for several years and helped with many events at Solid Rock Baptist Church under Pastor Dan Doolin, events including VBS, special events and preparing meals for grieving families after funerals, treating each family as her own. Most recently Bonnie was attending the Wapello Methodist Church under the direction of Pastor Tim Johnson. Bonnie was loved by many people and always a selfless giver and never a complainer, always taking the high road when many took the lower road. Bonnie had incredible resilience and made the best of life, despite the tragedies she encountered and endured. And she still persevered with activities and loving people, despite her battle with cancer, which she withheld from most people, even as it ended her life.

Bonnie is survived by son, Alvin and his wife Beverly; granddaughter, Shayla and her husband, Anthony Bruns; grandson Kyle Doy, grandsons Andy and Lloyd Oberly and great-grandson, Oliver Michael Bruns. Siblings, Jerry and Mel Beeding, Beverly Spitznogle, Anna and George; several nieces and nephews, neighbors, friends and extended family.

Bonnie was preceded in death by sons Billy Dale and Rodney Gene, husband, Andy, son, Ricky and several siblings.

Bonnie has been a true treasure that will be loved and missed by many forever.
