Bonnie Kenyon Obituary

KENYON, Bonnie
On Monday, March 24, 2008, our Lord Jesus came to room 513 in the Robert Packer Hospital and took Bonnie Jean (Bassett) Kenyon by the hand and walked with her into glory. Bonnie was the loving wife of Ronald R. Kenyon, who she married on September 2, 1962. The couple had 45 wonderful years together. Family and friends are welcome to gather from 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 29, 2008, at the W.R. Croman Elementary School, Canton Street, Troy, PA. A celebration of Bonnie's life will be held at 12:00 noon at Croman School with Rev. Garry Zuber and Rev. Joshua Payne officiating. Burial will follow the service in Glenwood Cemetery. The Gerald W. Vickery, Jr. Funeral Home, Inc., 110 West Main Street, Troy, PA, has been entrusted with the arrangements. Bonnie was born on November 15, 1943 in Roaring Branch, PA. She was the daughter of the late Carl D. and Nellie O. (Campbell) Bassett. Bonnie graduated with honors from Troy High School, Class of 1961. Bonnie worked for Eureka; the Martha Lloyd Community; loved taking care of children, both in her home and at Little Learners Daycare; ran the Kenyon's Gulf Station in Sylvania, with her husband, Ron, from 1986 to 1991; and worked as the office manager for the Mark Germino Insurance Agency in Troy, form 2001 to December of 2007. Bonnie loved the Lord and spent many intimate hours with him and her faith radiated to everyone she met. She was a member of the First Baptist Church of Troy, and the Victory Church in Troy. Bonnie was a Sunday School teacher, was a former Deacon at the Baptist Church, and had a music ministry with Ron that touched many people's lives throughout Bradford County for almost 30 years. If anyone ever needed help of any kind, Bonnie would always be more than willing to fill the need. After her faith in Jesus Christ, came Bonnie's devotion to her family. Her family includes her husband, Ron; her children, David (Patty) Kenyon of Middletown, PA, Bradley (Kitty) Kenyon of Troy, PA, Lori (Mike) Morrison of Granville Summit, PA, and Matthew Kenyon of Troy, PA; her grandchildren, Cory and wife, Tabitha, Krystle, Erika and husband, Skyler, Derrike, Courtney, Aaron, Nathaniel, and Dillon; great-grandchildren, Reign and Madison; sisters and brothers-in-law, Phyllis (Alfred) Castle, Carol (Donald) Ripley, Alice (Merle) Randall and Richard (Shirley) Kenyon; along with several nieces and nephews. Bonnie is predeceased by: her parents; her brother, Bob Bassett; her sister, Betty Bassett; her brother-in-law, Ralph Kenyon; her father and mother-in-law, James and Ruby Kenyon; and her grandson, Nicholas Kenyon. Memorial contributions may be made in Bonnie's memory to the Victory Church Building Fund, 180 Center Street, Troy, PA 16947; Aor to the First Baptist Church Good Samaritan Fund, 160 Canton Street, Troy, PA 16947.

My mom sent me a notice. My hearts are with the entire Kenyon Family. Bonnie was like a 2nd mom for me being raised in the Valley, and I will never forget the times that she took care of me in my teenage years. Thanks! I know that we will meet again in another valley.

Dear Ronnie and Family,

Being with Bonnie the last 6 months has been a Great Inspiration to us all. She has been a Wonderful Sister Of Faith. Bonnie still "Praised The Lord" even when the times got tough. Her Testimony Is Her Mighty Faith In Our Lord Jesus Christ. What A Blessing You Have Had With Bonnie As A Wife, Mother and Gramma! I remember many times she said to me ( "WHAT EVER IT TAKES!") We will miss her GREATLY!

WE LOVE YOU ALL,

Theron & Sally Binford
(JESUS IS LORD!)
