Bonnie Bowers

Bonnie Marie Bowers unexpectedly passed away at her home on November 20, 2024. She was born on May 29, 1944 and is preceded in death by her parents, Lester and Dorothy Whipkey.

She is survived by her husband of nearly 60 years, Robert J Bowers, their three children Robert (Bobby) Bowers (Camille Bowers), Cindy Goodnight and Jill Glover (Derek Glover) and their six grandchildren, Alexandra Bowers, Lydia Bowers, Isabella Bowers, Jacob Goodnight, Tyler Goodnight and Maya Glover.

Bonnie was a retired secretary for Bowers and Scott Realty, a realtor at Dorothy Root Real Estate, and the property manager for LJ Whipkey Construction. She was an active member of the Cheat Lake United Methodist Church which was built by her father. More notably, she was a strong, kind, loving and selfless matriarch who always put her family first. She was always happiest when she was sharing moments with her loved ones. Whether she was vacationing to Florida, attending car and tractor shows with Bob, going to the Springs Farmers Market, or attending family cookouts and dinners, she loved spending time with her family and friends. Bonnie was an amazing wife, mother and grandma and will be most remembered for her kindness, generosity and devotion to her family, friends, and community.

The family would like to acknowledge and offer special thanks to the Mon County EMS and Cheat Lake Fire Department for their diligence and compassion. They would also like to extend their appreciation for the outpouring of support from the close friends and family during this difficult time. Memorial donations may be made to the Canyon Church Food Pantry (contact Mary Gribko, 18 Whipkey Lane Morgantown WV 26508, phone: 304-594-2143) and/or the Cheat Lake Fire Department.
