In her younger years Bonnie enjoyed going to the Gulf Coast for fishing with her older sister and yearly trips to Las Vegas with her younger sister. She was a great supporter of all her grandchildren and loved Grandparents Day. She was an avid Dallas Cowboy fan.
In her 93 years, she was blessed with a loving family. She is survived by her daughters, Linda (Lloyd) Randall and Marilyn (Robert) Payne of Midland; her two grandchildren, Mark Stafford and Jennifer Payne of Midland; her seven great-grandchildren, Ryan Stafford of Warren, Texas, Meagan Stafford of Fort Worth, Alyssa Munoz, Gavin Munoz, Tristan Munoz, Emma Dean, and Caleb Dean of Midland; her two sisters, Mary Lee Alexander of Canyon Lake, Texas, and Judy Saunders of Seguin, Texas; and her brother Billy Saunders of Houston.

The family would like to thank Hospice of Midland for Bonnie’s loving care during her final days.
