Evelyn Bonney Obituary
Evelyn W. Bonney VIRGINIA BEACH - Evelyn Lavane Wynne Bonney, 84, passed away peacefully Oct. 25, 2008, at Sentara Bayside Hospital surrounded by her loving family. She was born Feb. 14, 1924, in a log home in Ashburn, Ga., to John Daniel Wynne and Mattie Jane Sumner Wynne. She was predeceased by her parents; her son, Robert W. Brown Jr.; her brothers, Tarver Jackson "Buddy" Wynne, Thomas Baxter "Speedy" Wynne, John Edward "Pid" Wynne, Daniel Barnett "Bubba" Wynne, Wilmer Lee Wynne, James Hubert "Dutch" Wynne; and sisters, Fannie Louise "Sister" Wynne Eldridge and Mattie Nadine "Cricket" Wynne Morgan. Left to cherish her memory are her husband of 53 years, Stanley W. Bonney; daughters, Brenda Brown of Norfolk, Karen Bonney of Alvin, Texas and Julie Crockett and husband Daryl of Hampton; grandchildren, Colleen Price and husband George, Cathy Price, Meghan Anspach, Ryan Anspach, Clay Bonney; great-grandchildren, Geneé Brown, Hunter Price, Walker Price, Autumn Price and Dakota Price; brother, Horace Edgar Wynne; and a special niece, Betty Eldridge Davis of Charlotte, N.C. Evelyn was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great- grandmother, sister, friend and neighbor. She was a great storyteller and always had a funny joke up her sleeve. She loved her family, her home of 41 years, her garden, her neighbors, her neighbors' children - and even the children's children. They will all miss her pickles, cakes, homespun humor and chats on her screened-in porch. A memorial service will be held today at 11 a.m. in Altmeyer Funeral Home, 5792 Greenwich Road, Virginia Beach, with the Rev. Tracy Bradshaw officiating with a reception immediately following. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Susan G. Komen For the Cure, 119 S. Witchduck Road, Suite No. 85, Virginia Beach, VA 23462. Condolences can be made to the family at www.altmeyer.com.
