Bonnie Pennington, 62

February 12, 1962 – October 17, 2024

Bonnie Pennington, a cherished soul known for her loving, kind, and gentle spirit, passed away after a courageous battle with an illness on October 17, 2024 in Oxford MS . She was born February 12, 1962, in New Albany, MS, Bonnie spent her formative years surrounded by the warmth of her family and the beauty of the natural world she so adored.

Bonnie’s educational journey began at Northeast Community College, where she completed two years before attending Mississippi State for a short period. Her pursuit of knowledge, though not confined within the walls of institutions, continued throughout her life in the way she engaged with the world around her.

Family was the cornerstone of Bonnie’s life. She was preceded in death by her loving parents, William Troy and Bonnie Sue Rakestraw Pennington, and her sister-in-law, Rhonda Pennington. Bonnie’s legacy of love and care is carried on by her devoted brother and caregiver, Tim Pennington, her nephew Brandon Kirk, and her great-nephew Kobe Kirk. The bond she shared with each of them was unique and profound, and they will hold her memory close to their hearts forever.

Bonnie’s passions were a reflection of her inner beauty. Her love for nature was evident to all who knew her. She found joy in the simple pleasure of watching hummingbirds dance around her garden and spent countless hours caring for her pets, tending her flowers, and nurturing the life that flourished under her gentle touch. Her garden was not just a plot of land but a canvas where she painted with the vibrant colors of nature.

Those who had the privilege of knowing Bonnie will remember her for the warmth she exuded and the kindness she bestowed upon everyone she encountered. Her gentle demeanor was a soothing presence in a bustling world, and her love was a beacon that shone brightly even in her final days.

United is honored to be entrusted with these arrangements.
