Barbara Bonnell Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Chism Family Funeral Home - Vine Grove on Oct. 22, 2023.
Barbara Carol (Rowlett) Bonnell, born on October 18, 1952, departed from this world on Sunday, October 22, surrounded by her loving family. A native of Lafayette, GA, Barbara was the cherished daughter of Barbara Jean and James Edward Rowlett, who have gone before her.
Barbara is survived by her devoted husband, Jerry Bonnell, and her children, Kenneth Moore and his wife Susan, Barbara Shea, and Shannon Moore along with her wife, Heather. Her legacy extends to six grandchildren and an incredible nine great-grandchildren.
Barbara's life was dedicated to the service of others, having retired as the Chief of Military Personnel Division and Project Manager for Fort Knox, previously the Chief of the Fort Knox Casualty Office. Her work touched the lives of countless soldiers and their families during their most challenging moments. Her excellence in her profession was matched only by the boundless compassion in her heart. When not helping others Barbara enjoyed reading books. Often times reading a book a day.
While Barbara had a remarkable career, her true pride and joy were her children and grandchildren. She went above and beyond to provide unwavering support to each of them, demonstrating the depth of her love and commitment.
In accordance with her wishes, Barbara's passing will remain a private matter, shared solely with her immediate family. As we remember and honor her, let us hold close the memories of a remarkable woman whose life was a testament to love, dedication, and compassion. Barbara will forever be cherished and deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

I would like first to convey my condolences to my Aunt Carol's family. I first met her when she and Uncle Garcia married, I was in the 5th grade, I so admired her, she wasn't much older than I and she had the ability to talk to me and help me understand the changes I was going through as a young almost teen in the 60s, a very turbulent time in all our lives. She was the most intelligent person I ever met and as a child I was amazed over her intelligence. My husband and I went to Fort Knox in 1978 to share Thanksgiving with her and Uncle Garcia and my little cousins, wonderful day and great meal. The ride there spectacular. That was the last time I saw Aunt Carol, but I always asked Garcia about her and was very proud of her accomplishments and the great work she did.
