It is with great sadness that the family of Bonita E. Withers announces her passing on November 6, 2018 at the age of 82. She was born on November 13, 1935, in Neola, Iowa.

Bonita was known for her smiling face and giggles. Her family loved making her laugh. One of her biggest joys in life was taking care of her poodles. We are comforted to know that she is in Heaven with a little poodle on her lap. We love you Mum!

Bonita is preceded in death by her husband, Louie Dean; both her parents, Oliver and Sophia (Felton) Bullock.

She will be lovingly remembered by her four children, Pam (Dave) Turner, Rick, Brenda Allai and Debbie Kittrell. Bonita will also be remembered by her 9 grandchildren, Angie, Shawn, Casi, Millie, Molly, Brook, Mariah, Lindsay and Montana; 20 great grandchildren; nieces and nephews and dear friends.

A private funeral service will be held on Friday, November 9, 2018 at Klingner-Cope Family Funeral Home at Rivermonte (4500 S. Lone Pine Avenue Springfield, MO) with a burial in Rivermonte Memorial Gardens.

In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made in Bonita's memory to an organization of your choice.
