Bonnie was born in Bullard Chapel, Oklahoma on September 18, 1927, the ninth child born to John Wesley and Ida Lillian Goodman. She married the man that saved her a seat on the school bus and the love of her life, James Eldon Maxwell in Madill, Oklahoma on February 10, 1945. Bonnie was fiercely devoted to her husband and family with a loyalty and love that created an unbreakable bond. There was always food in the kitchen and room at the table. Her home was a safe place where children were read to and made to feel unique and special. She served the Lord by teaching Sunday School, and her legacy as MIss Bonnie lives on in the lives she taught about Jesus. She also graced Sunday mornings with her beautiful voice, and she was always an example of God's love and grace. Bonnie lived her life in the service of others, and she will be missed beyond measure. Though our hearts may grieve, they are full of precious memories and the knowledge that heaven gained it's most beautiful saint. What a reunion is taking place!
