Funeral services will be 10 a.m. Tuesday, July 15, at Bellmead Funeral Home Chapel with the Rev. John Abraham officiating. Burial will follow at Rosemound Cemetery.
Bonnie was born on November 11, 1934, to Bert and Mildred Goff in Coryell County, Texas. Bonnie was a homemaker for many years until she bought a small greenhouse and started growing cactus for sale. It didn't take long until she bought several larger greenhouses, thus establishing Bonnie's Greenhouse in 1981. She operated the greenhouses for many years until health issues forced her to sell her beloved greenhouses. She was known throughout Central Texas for her knowledge of native Texas, bedding and perennial plants .
Survivors include sons, Charles Murphy and wife, Kathrynn of Devine, Texas, and Wesley Murphy and wife, Kathleen of Rapid City, S.D.; brother, John and wife, Diana; four granddaughters; one grandson; and numerous great-grandchildren.

New to Texas, when I found Bonnie's Nursery I could not believe the beautiful native plants growing inside her gardens. She even raised exotic species of birds. Going to "Bonnie's" was the greatest treat for my friends and I. What a wonderful legacy she left for Waco. Thank you dear one. You must be enjoying that huge garden in heaven!

To the Family, I knew your Mother several years ago. She was my sponsor & a wonderful friend, Bonnie was very beautiful inside & out. She had a laugh that was enjoyed by me & lit up a room. She will be missed by many of us. May God wrap his arms around all of you & give you peace.
