Bonnye Sholmire Obituary
Bonnye age 71 died of complications from breast cancer on November 23, 2017 in Nacogdoches, TX. She was born in Parkersburg, West Virginia, on December 7, 1945 to Lillian Conger Moore of Parkersburg and Eugene Otis Moore of Sherman Texas, and raised by her great aunt and uncle, Cora & Ed Conger on their farm off Windy Ridge in Wirt County.
She was a 1964 graduate of Gilmore High School, Sandyville, WV and was a 1960 Golden Horseshoe Winner from Jackson County. After graduation, she worked for Parkersburg National Bank for 7 years before accepting a job at Fifth Third Bank in Cincinnati where she could attend as many Cincinnati Reds games as she could afford! She was an 8-year member of the U.S. Army Reserves and joined the 2075th. USAR School in Cincinnati. After her marriage to Bob Sholmire, she moved to Channelview, TX to join him and was employed with Channelview Bank for 10 years before moving to Charlotte, NC. While in Charlotte, she worked for Bank of America as a loan underwriter in the Private Banking division. She and Bob became die-hard NASCAR fans, especially of the Earnhardts, during their years in Charlotte.
Besides watching NASCAR races, she enjoyed sitting on the back porch watching the birds and drinking coffee with Bob. She also enjoyed working cryptogram puzzles and watching NCIS, Barnwood Builders and old movies.
Survivors include her husband and love of her life, Bob Sholmire, sisters in law Janice (Bert) Furlow of Shelbyville, TX and Carol (Jim) Gilliland of Nacogdoches, TX, brother Gerry Moore of Sistersville, WV, niece Jodi Thompson of Morgantown, WV and her children, Jack and Lana.
Arrangements are under the direction of Cason Monk-Metcalf Funeral Directors.

Bob,
I will first introduce myself as Bonnye's cousin, Darlene (Conger) Vincent. I am so sorry for your loss. My father was Denzil Conger and as a child we visited the farm. I have fond memories with Aunt Cora and Uncle Ed and got to know Bonnye and Jerry. I am 65 and a little younger than Bonnye but we liked to play board games and horseshoes. Jerry and I always liked to tease Bonnye when she started dating. I also remember her love of Baseball. I grew up in East Liverpool, Ohio and now live in Richmond, VA. with my husband Bill. We have one son Darren (31) and a granddaughter, Mady who is 8yrs. old. My cousin John Conger called me this evening to give me the sad news. Sorry that we did not stay in touch. I guess that happens in a lot of families. IT was wonderful to see the pictures and remember good times.

Bob, Judy K. called me with the sad message of Bonnye's passing. She was a very unique person and I am thankful for knowing her and working with her the ten years at the bank. You are in our prayers.
