Bonnie Jean Wolford
Bonnie Jean Wolford , 93 , of Frazeysburg , went to be with her Lord on Tuesday , Oct . 27 , 2020 at her home . Her loving family was at her side .
Born Jan . 4 , 1927 in Frazeysburg , she was a daughter of the late Clay and Dolly ( Yingling ) Anderson . She was an active member of New Beginnings Ministries in Warsaw . Bonnie was a woman of strong faith with prayers that could move mountains . She stayed up late at night to make sure her family was home safely , relying on the Lord to answer her prayers when truly that was all she had since she had no telephone or car for years . With love and compassion she always put others before herself , a nurturing soul who cared and doctored her children or others with home remedies to heal a cold or to mend an animal back to health . Bonnie was full of laughter and mischief , as we often wondered what she was up to ! Whether gathering under the willow tree to crack beans or baking pies in the kitchen , her heart was filled with singing and her eyes were filled with joy . You could see her at the kitchen table with a baby on her lap . So many hugs and kisses to us will always last . We love you a bushel and a peck .
Bonnie was married to her childhood sweetheart , Ben J . Wolford , on Oct . 10 , 1944 . They were married for over 64 years before his passing on March 17 , 2009 . They were blessed with six beautiful children , four daughters , Diana Ashcraft , Connie Dunfee and her husband Bill , all of
