Emma Lynette Bonner was born August 11, 1928, to beloved parents Linzie Rogers and Maudess Thornton Rogers in Houston, Texas. She departed this life on Tuesday February 21, 2023. She was the third oldest of eight children raised from this union. She leaves to mourn a brother, Linzie Rogers Jr. and a sister Clara Mayfield. She was preceded in death by siblings: Lillian Rogers, Elizabeth Peters, Janie Ward, Eddie Bernice Hill, and Clifton Rogers.
She met her former husband, Abner Bonner while working in Longview Texas as a School Nurse. She is survived by five children raised from this union: Dr. Kenneth Bonner (Los Angeles, California), Michael Bonner (Houston, Texas), Hiram Bonner (Houston, Texas), Cheryl Daniels (Houston, Texas) and Darryl Bonner (Oakridge, Tennessee), daughter-in-law Jeanie Bonner and a son-in-law Dr. Hemansu Mangal.

Emma Bonner graduated from Dillard University in New Orleans Louisiana, and she went on to receive her Bachelor's degree in Nursing from Kansas City General Hospital No.2, Kansas City, Missouri. She obtained her Registered Nurse certification in 1950.

She loved reading the Bible and sharing her favorite scriptures with anyone she thought could benefit from the Word of God. Her hobbies included finding treasures in Resale shops, Quilting and writing cards and letters to family and friends. She leaves behind a legacy of faith, excellence and accomplishments.

I thank God for the privilege to have met such a Christian woman, Aunt Lynette (my late wife's, Madelyn Maudess's, aunt). I pray God's strength, comfort, and peace for my father-in-law, Linzie Rogers, her family, friends, and beloved ones during this time of bereavement.
