Mrs. Mary Bonnie Johnson

PINETOPS– Bonnie Johnson, age 75, passed away on Wednesday, July 1, 2026.

She was also preceded in death by her brothers, Roy Allen Marlow, Johnnie Marlow, Billy Marlow, Robert Douglas Marlow, and Calvin Michael Marlow.

Bonnie will be remembered for her kind heart, love of nature, and appreciation for life’s simple joys.

Bonnie’s warmth, gentle spirit, and love for family, friends, and the beauty around her will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who knew and loved her.

Bonnie is survived by her husband, Tommy “Buck” Johnson; brothers, Richard Marlow (Denise), Jerry Marlow, Jimmy Marlow (Ann); sister-in-law, Glenda Marlow; several nieces and nephews; dear friends who became family, James Ray Lancaster, Jean Fox, and Louise Bossman.
