CINCINNATI (AP) - Bonnie Lou, a pioneering country music artist and rock 'n' roll singer and who later became a TV host, has died. She was 91.
I always listen to my father talk about listening to Bonnie on the radio and how He was able to Buy Bonnies Gibson country and western guitar . Just wish that guitar could tell the stories it has seen in its day. Bonnie and her gift to music will truely be missed.

Bonnie Lou was my namesake, I even have a letter from her! I remember watching her on Midwestern Hayride and listening to her sing and yodel, what a voice! My regret is I never got to meet her. May she rest in peace.

My heartfelt condolences to the family of Bonnie Lou and to all the many people who knew her. She will be greatly missed.
I first heard her sing on the Mid-West Hay Ride when I was a little girl and I loved her from the start. She was my reason to love Country Music.

My dad named me Patsy Lou after his favorite singers. My mom took me to see Bonnie at a county fair in Nelsonville. I will always remember how nice she was. I have talked of her my whole life. Will see you in Heaven sweet Bonnie Lou!

Bonnie Lou brought many magic moments wherever I went, via her wonderful recordings. Growing up in Ohio, we invited Bonnie into our home as often as possible via her many WLW television shows, and King, Fraternity and Wrayco recordings...and I saw her in concert whenever she was fairly closeby. She was the definition of talent and joy, and that joy lives on in my sweetest memories.

To the Family and Friends of Bonnie Lou: The death of a loved one can bring sadness, and this will cause you to mourn for a season. You can lift your heads up because Bonnie Lou lived long and she lived well. Our desire is that you find comfort in the words of Luke 20:38, and be assured that her life is deeply stored in God's memory and can be recalled at will. You WILL be reunited as a family; it has been promised!
