Bonnie M Brannen

In the quiet town of Liberty, South Carolina, on the 4th day of November 2023, our beloved Bonnie M. Brannen was called home to glory. Born on the 21st day of November 1947, in the humble town of Wallace, North Carolina, Bonnie was a beacon of love, faith, and wisdom, illuminating the lives of all who had the privilege to know her.

Bonnie's early life was marked by sacrifice and service. She left school in the 6th grade to care for her siblings, a testament to her selfless nature and the depth of her love for her family. Despite the challenges she faced, Bonnie never lost her spirit or her faith, and she carried these qualities with her throughout her life.

As a homemaker, Bonnie created a warm and welcoming environment for her family and friends. Her home was a sanctuary, filled with the aroma of her famous southern meals and the sound of her favorite music. She was a woman of many talents, with a particular fondness for crocheting and reading. Bonnie was also a devout woman, who found solace and strength in her religion and the holy scriptures.

Bonnie was a loving mother to her three children, Margaret Thompson, Mellisa Brannen, and Thomas Brannen. She was a doting grandmother to Allisa Barker, DJ Fink, Dolly Brannen, Trevor Hannah, Shalane Tompkins, Jacklyn Thompson, and Braden Brannen, and a great-grandmother to twelve. She was predeceased by her grandson, Thomas Brannen Jr., her husband, Samuel Owen Brannen, and her siblings, Della Gillespie, Regina Goforth, James Goforth, Betty Moore, Michael Goforth, and John Goforth.

Bonnie had a passion for stories, both real and fictional. She was an avid reader and a fan of true crime and soap operas. These interests, combined with her wisdom and insight, made her a captivating conversationalist and a trusted confidante. Her love for music was infectious, and she often filled her home with her favorite tunes, creating a joyful atmosphere that will be fondly remembered by all who visited.

Bonnie was a woman of unwavering faith. Her belief in the Lord was a cornerstone of her life, and she found comfort and guidance in the pages of her beloved Bible. Her faith was not just a personal journey, but a gift she shared with others, offering words of wisdom and encouragement to those in need.

In Bonnie, we saw the embodiment of love. She loved deeply and unconditionally, and her heart was always open to those around her. She was a source of comfort and support, a pillar of strength in times of hardship, and a beacon of joy in times of celebration. Her love was a gift, one that will continue to inspire and uplift us even as we mourn her loss.

As we bid farewell to our beloved Bonnie, we do so with heavy hearts, but also with a sense of peace. For we know that she is now at rest, reunited with her loved ones in the kingdom of heaven. We take comfort in the knowledge that her spirit lives on in the love she shared, the wisdom she imparted, and the faith she held so dear. Bonnie M. Brannen, a woman of love, faith, and wisdom, will be deeply missed, but her legacy will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
