Bonnie Olus Green-Whitekiller was born on Wednesday, January 29, 1947, in Fairfax, OK, the daughter of Leon C. and Doris June (Byers) Duvall. She was raised with three brothers and two sisters, John, Jeff. Donald, Rita Jo, and Molly Ann. She graduated from Sallisaw High School and then attended NSU, obtaining her LPN degree. She worked as a dedicated and skilled nursing professional first at Claremore then at WW Hastings Hospital. Bonnie was first and foremost a loving mother and grandmother. She was the proud mother of four daughters and one son, Charles, Shannon, Emily, Jalita, and Aelicia. When she wasn't working and keeping up with her family, she was collecting antiques, attending estate and yard sales, playing Bingo and going to the casino with her friends, heading to the horse races or curling up with a good book. She always dressed and you could smell her perfume as she entered a room. There were never any strangers at her door, and anyone that needed a hot meal, got one. She loved people and it showed. It made no difference to her rather rich or poor, she liked you just for being you. Any chance she had, was spent supporting her grandchildren in all of their activities. She enjoyed time spent with her companion, Gary Welch, and the two of them could often be seen out enjoying the day. Her health began to fade and she passed from this life on Thursday, August 23rd, 2018 at Tahlequah, OK with her loved ones by her side. She was 71 years old.

She is preceded in death by her mother, father, her son, Charles Allen Green, three brothers and one sister, John Washabaugh, Jeff Duvall, Donald Carpenter, and Molly Ann McKinley, and her companion, Gary Welch.

Those left to celebrate her life include her daughters, Shannon Caseboldt and husband Jackie Ray of Sapulpa, Emily Stovall of Tahlequah, Jalita Green of Tahlequah, and Aelicia Green and companion Wesley Hathcoat also of Tahlequah. She leaves one surviving sister, Rita Jo Bradley. She lives on in her 11 grandchildren, Zachariah Green of Tahlequah, Samantha Stovall of Tahlequah, Adam Stovall of Wilmington, NC, Taylor Caseboldt and wife Louren of Tulsa, Trey Caseboldt of Norman, Kandee Stopp of Tahlequah, Kenzee Stopp and Brent Downesof Norman, Kenlee Stopp of Tahlequah, Cody Griggs of Ft. Smith, Kristin Franks of OK and Colby Green of Tahlequah. She also leaves eight great grandchildren to carry on, Brantley Stopp, Jeremiah Stovall, McKenna Harris, Chase Downes, Hayden Downes, Ryker Franks, Samuel Caseboldt, Cameron Caseboldt, and Camille Suarez, as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins and a host of friends and loved ones.
