Bonnie Wilkins Obituary

WILKINS, Bonnie Louise Bliley, 74, of Richmond, Va., accepted her angelic wings and went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on February 9, 2021, at 3:30 a.m. She was preceded in death by her parents, Leroy Benjamin Bliley and Mary Griffiths Bliley; and her brother, David George Bliley. She is survived by her loving husband, Harry D. Wilkins Jr.; sons, Christopher R. Wilkins and Harry D. "Tripp" Wilkins III; sister, Betsy Temple; and her four grandchildren, Evelyn, Abigail, Benjamin and Connor. Bonnie graduated from John Marshall High School and continued her education at RPI/VCU, where she earned herself a B.S. in Business Accounting. She was a faithful member of St. Matthew's Episcopal Church and was involved in many activities there, such as a Bible study group of five women for over 20 years. Bonnie was also involved with the ECW and served as President of Region 12 (formerly). While Bonnie loved to garden and watch butterflies in her yard, her most cherished activity was spending time with her four grandchildren, loving family and friends. She will be truly missed. Services are private. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial contributions be made to St. Matthew's Episcopal Church Endowment Fund.
