Bonnie Crisco Obituary
Bonnie Blankenship Crisco, 84, passed peacefully Monday morning in Tupelo, Mississippi.
Born in Parsons, Tennessee, to Robert and Anna Nagle Blankenship, Bonnie lived a life filled with love, laughter, and family.
Bonnie was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Chris; her parents; three sisters; and three brothers. She is survived by her son, Joseph, and his wife, Kate, of Germantown, Tennessee; her cherished grandchildren, Lane and Adeline; her brother Morris; and her sister Katie.
The youngest of nine and a proud native of Parsons, Bonnie was crowned Ms. Parsons High School and served as co-captain on the varsity basketball team. After graduating, she moved to Memphis, where she met and married the love of her life, Chris, and in 1976 welcomed a baby boy.
Known for her warmth and kind spirit, Bonnie cherished visiting with family, enjoying music, and cheering on her favorite sports teams. In 2019 and 2021, she embraced the role of "Nana" to her grandchildren, Lane and Adeline, who brought her immense joy to her later years.
Bonnie's legacy of kindness, unwavering optimism, and devotion to family will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
Visitation will be held on Thursday, August 14, 2025, from 10 until 11:30 a.m. at Camden First Assembly, 2800 Highway 70 W, Camden, TN 38320. A graveside service will follow at Derryberry Cemetery in Darden, Tennessee, officiated by Reverend Randy Blankenship.
