Bonnie Lou Bigelow

Bonnie Bigelow, born Bonnie Perkins, took her first breath on August 18, 1941 in Sedalia, MO. The second of five children born to the late Louis P. and Della D. Gerdts Perkins. She moved along with her family to Oakland, CA at the age of three and lived most of her life in the Bay Area of California. In 2002, she moved to Lincoln, CA where she lived for 10 years before making a final move to Weatherford, TX in November of 2011.

Bonnie worked early on in the semiconductor industry where she became the very first female supervisor in her company. She made the transition in 1977 to the career that she was created for, a real estate agent. She worked 36 years as a realtor, but it was never really work for her, she loved it. While Bonnie did love her job, there are two things that she loved more. She loved her Lord and Savior and she loved her family. She attended various churches throughout her life and most recently called North Side Baptist her church home. Bonnie was blessed with two daughters, Crystal Robison and Tracey Rowe here on Earth and several other children who have been awaiting her arrival in heaven.
