Bonnie O'Neal Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Bonnie was the beloved daughter of the late Daniel Paul O'Neal and Wilma Bennett O'Neal. Her life was a reflection of the close-knit family she was born into and the one she nurtured over the years. She was a devoted mother to her children, Cori Skidmore (Kevin Stone), Misty O'Neal (Cole Davis), and Robert Travis Skidmore. Bonnie was predeceased by her dear son, Franklin "Frankie" Skidmore, whose memory remained a guiding light in her life.
Her siblings, Alverta Murray (Gary), Dianne Flowers, and Paul O'Neal (Carolyn), along with her sister-in-law Barbara O'Neal, shared in the joys and sorrows of life with Bonnie, each forming an unbreakable bond. She was preceded in death by her brother, Daniel "Danny" O'Neal, and her love for him remained unwavering. Bonnie's role as a grandmother to Lily Skidmore was one of her greatest joys, and she embraced every moment with her.
Bonnie's professional life was spent in the culinary department at West Virginia University, where she not only shared her talents but also formed lasting friendships and connections. Her colleagues will remember her for her dedication, warmth, and the care she put into her work.
Music was one of Bonnie's greatest passions, and she loved going to concerts, feeling the rhythm and melodies as a source of joy and celebration. Her love for yard sales and antiques spoke to her appreciation for history and the stories behind each cherished find. Bonnie's adventurous spirit shone through in her love for camping, where she found peace and contentment in the beauty of nature.
In honoring Bonnie's wishes, McCulla Funeral Home is in charge of cremation services. Friends may gather at McCulla Funeral Home on Tuesday, May 27, 2025 from 4pm until the 6pm memorial service with Pastor Charlie Bowser officiating.
Online condolences may be sent to the family at www.McCulla.com
