1951 - 2023

Bonnie DuPree, passed away on Monday, May 8, 2023 at 71 years of age. She was preceded in death by her loving and devoted husband of 43 years, Gary L. DuPree and her parents, Rex and Eileen Burford. She is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Darren and Lisa DuPree, Denver, CO; grandchildren, Ethan DuPree and Allyson DuPree, Denver, CO; sister, Rachel Wilson (Thomas), Conyers, GA; brothers-in-law Mike DuPree and Brian DuPree, Jasper, GA; brother-in-law, Kevin DuPree, Anderson, SC; sister-in-law, Lynnell Evans, Fayetteville, GA and many nieces and nephews.

Bonnie was born on Oct 17, 1951 and lived with her parents and sister in Atlanta and Decatur, Ga until she moved to Conyers, Ga with her husband and son where they resided for 48 years.

Bonnie was employed by Rockdale County Public Schools and worked at J. H. House Elementary for many years. She had a multitude of happy days working with children and friends.

Also, Bonnie's life was centered around her family and friends within her church and community whom she treasured and loved. She enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and grandnephews, gardening, scrapbooking, and she was a very enthusiastic and "vocal" fan of college football. Saturdays in the fall would find her in a chair watching every college football game with a cold Coca Cola nearby.

After her husband passed, she travelled between her homes in Georgia and Colorado, but decided in 2019 to make her home permanently in Parker, Colorado. She enjoyed her last four years in Colorado's magnificent scenery while enjoying the closeness of family, neighbors, and friends.

Family will receive friends from 6:00 pm to 8:00 on Wednesday, May 24, 2023.
