Bonnie Lind Obituary
Bonnie Laine Lind, 77, passed away on September 13, 2025.
Bonnie earned her master's degree in Education and dedicated much of her life to teaching and learning. She taught at both Tomlinson College and Chattanooga College, where she inspired countless students through her passion for education. A lifelong lover of reading, Bonnie later shared that same love of books and knowledge in her final place of employment at the Cleveland Bradley County Public Library. Over the years, she held several other positions, always bringing her warmth, intelligence, and kindness to those around her.
She was preceded in death by her former spouse, Randall Perkins; mother, Eleanor Laine Lind; father, Norman Lind; and brother, Brian Lind.
She is survived by her two nieces, Melissa (Ryan) Schmisek and Andrea (Eric) Overgaard; and great-nieces, Lily, Kaelyn, and Maryn.
A memorial service celebrating Bonnie's life will be planned at a later date.
2412 Georgetown Rd NW P.O. Box 5057, Cleveland, TN 37311
