Bonnie Williams Obituary

Virginia Beach, Virginia - Bonnie Clare Williams, born on April 18, 1940, in Wheeling, West Virginia, passed away peacefully on October 11, 2025, at the age of 85. Bonnie's life was a testament to resilience, warmth, and unwavering kindness, qualities that left a lasting impression on everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.

Throughout her life, Bonnie demonstrated a remarkable strength that endeared her to family and friends alike. She built a career as a bookkeeper and spent over two decades working at Walmart before retiring. Her work ethic and dedication were evident in everything she did, and she carried these values throughout her life.

Bonnie found joy in life's simple pleasures, such as playing bingo, getting her hair done, and staying active with her friends. She was often seen at the First Colonial Inn, calling bingo and lighting up the room with her infectious energy and laughter. Her vibrant spirit and love for community not only brought people together but also encouraged all who knew her to embrace life with the same enthusiasm.

Preceded in death by her loving husband, Horace "Bill" Williams, and her mother, Anna Neubauer, Bonnie cherished her family deeply. She is survived by her children James Douglas Baldy, Jr. and his wife Victoria and Michael Andrew Baldy and his wife Julie. She leaves behind her treasured grandchildren, Nina Marie, Luke August, Mark Douglas, Mikaela Noelle, and Jacob Matthew Baldy, along with her sister-in-law Sally Wood and her husband Tim, niece Tricia Durokovic, and nephew John Fraser. A very special thank you to all of those who helped look after and love her: Sally, Tricia, Bruce, Missy, Dave, Tammy, Rose and Brayden.

In accordance with Bonnie's wishes, only a very small private service will be held to celebrate her life. Condolences may be left online at www.altmeyerfh.com.

Bonnie Clare Williams touched the hearts of many with her gentle spirit, and her legacy of love and friendship will continue to inspire all who were fortunate enough to know her. May she rest in peace, remembered forever by those who loved her.
