Bonita Rials

Bonita, age 99 was born to Robert E. and Nell May Griffin on February 21, 1926, at Neanda, TX and died peacefully on October 26, 2025. Bonita was preceded by her husband, Elbert "Tex" Rials, her daughter Sherrie Wesberry and her only sibling, Bobbie Nell Moore. Bonita and Tex married March 14, 1944. To this union three children were born, Michael Rials, Sherrie Wesberry (deceased) and Pamela Rials. Bonitta graduated from Sylvester TX High School in 1944. She married her husband three months before graduating and the boy classmates used to tease her by calling her "the old married woman." Tex and Bonita moved to Oklahoma after Tex was drafted into the Army. Bonita lived with her aunt and uncle, Reverand Ben & Grace Ethridge. After Tex passed away in 1982, Bonita began selling Avon to friends and family. This was as much of a hobby as it was a job. She made many, many friends and she earned her way into the Avon President's Club nine years un a row. Bonita had a host of friends throughout her lifetime. She was a member of Crest Baptist Church in Midwest City.
Bonita is survived by five grandchildren, Natalie McBride, Amanda Dill, Terry Rials. Jay Rials and Christina Rhylander, and fourteen great-grandchildren. Also, one sister-in-law, Edwinna Goode, and many nieces and nephews.
