Bonnie Lou Luther, 92, of Andrews, passed away Thursday, July18, 2019, at her residence surrounded by her loving family after several years of declining health.
Bonnie grew up in the Fires Creek Community of Clay County. She was the daughter of the late Taylor and Mae Brendle.
In 1946, she married Giles Luther of Andrews and had made her home there ever since.
Over the years, she worked at Berkshire Knitting Mills and Jack’s Five and Dime. She helped keep the family farm running by always keeping the work hands well fed.
Her greatest success, however, came at raising and caring for her family.
Bonnie was a gifted painter, quilt maker, basket weaver, gardener and very talented cook.
She was a long time member of Valley River Baptist Church, and a strong and devout Christian devoted to her Bible.
In addition to her parents, Bonnie was preceded in death by her loving husband, Giles Luther; and sons, Corbert Luther and Hardy Luther; a granddaughter, Sonia Gregory; and a brother and two sisters.
Bonnie is survived by a daughter, Deborah Young and husband James, and daughters-in-law, Shelia Luther and Marilyn Luther, all of Andrews; two grandchildren, five great-grandchildren; and many other loving family members.
Funeral services were held Sunday, July 21, at Valley River Baptist Church.
