Bonnie Brumley

Bonnie Ellen Brumley, 78, passed from her earthly body into her heavenly body to be with Jesus Christ, our Lord on Wednesday, November 6, 2013. Mrs. Brumley was born on September 8, 1935 in Brownfield, Texas to Bonnie Wayne and Dolly Ladona Nelson Horn. She was a 1953 graduate of Brownfield High School and married her high school sweetheart, Eugene Brumley, on September 4, 1954 in Lovington, New Mexico. Mrs. Brumley was a stay at home mom for many years while residing in Lubbock and Abilene, Texas. A few years after the family relocated to Texarkana, she spent 17 years in the accounting department at State First National Bank, which later became Regions Bank, in Texarkana, Arkansas. Mrs. Brumleywas a member of Pinecrest Baptist Church in Linden. Bonnie visited Colorado for the first time while on her high school senior trip to Colorado Springs. Seeing the Garden of the Gods and the Rocky Mountains began a lifelong love affair with Colorado and traveling. RV-ing became a big part of family vacations throughout theyears of marriage and children, traveling to many states, Canada, and Mexico. Years later after the children were grown, gone, and both had retired from work, Eugene and Bonnie set out on the ultimate retirement adventure beginning on December 10, 1995. A big decision was made to sell the house and travel the United States. The memories that were made during those fifteen years of RV-ing would last a lifetime. One of the greatest trips of all began in April of 1997 when Eugene and Bonnie spent four months exploring Alaska. Other favorite RV-ing trips included driving down the west coast on Highway 1 from Oregon to California, viewing the awesomeness of Niagara Falls, witnessing the beauty of the Grand Canyon, and of course, experiencingthe majesty of the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Traveling came to a close in the fall of 2010 when it was time to settle down in Linden.
