Bonnie Ellen Brumley, 78, passed from her earthly body into her heavenly body to be with Jesus Christ, our Lord on Wednesday, Nov. 6, 2013. She was born Sept. 8, 1935, in Brownfield to Bonnie Wayne and Dolly Ladona Nelson Horn. She was a 1953 graduate of Brownfield High School and married her high school sweetheart Eugene Brumley Sept. 4, 1954, in Lovington, N. M.
She was a stay-at-home mom for many years, while residing in Lubbock and Abilene. A short time after the family relocated to Texarkana, she spent 17 years in the accounting department at State First National Bank, which later became Regions Bank, in Texarkana, Ark. Mrs. She was a member of Pinecrest Baptist Church in Linden.
She visited Colorado for the first time, while on her high school senior trip to Colorado Springs. Seeing the Garden of the Gods and the Rocky Mountains began a lifelong love affair with Colorado and traveling. RV-ing became a big part of family vacations throughout the years of marriage and children, traveling to many states, Canada and Mexico. Years later, after the children were grown, gone and both had retired from work, Eugene and Bonnie set out on the ultimate retirement adventure beginning on Dec. 10, 1995. A big decision was made to sell the house and travel the United States. The memories that were made during those 15 years of RV-ing would last a lifetime. One of the greatest trips of began in April of 1997, when Eugene and Bonnie spent four months exploring Alaska. Other favorite RV-ing trips included driving down the west coast on Highway 1 from Oregon to California, viewing the awesomeness of Niagara Falls, witnessing the beauty of the Grand Canyon, and of course, experiencing the majesty of the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Traveling came to a close in the fall of 2010, when it was time to settle down in Linden.
