Bonnie was born in Maryville, TN on January 23,1932; one of nine children, to Pete and Mary Crabtree. Bonnie was truly loved by everyone who knew her. She was known for her love of God,

strength through many trials, and most of all, her love for her family and friends. She helped so many people over the years and touched a lot of lives. She retired from The State of Tennessee at the age of 77. She was also determined and smart! She earned her GED and worked three

jobs at once in her 50's. She was devoted to her husband of 65 years, Alfred E. Garner until his death in 2017. She was the rock of the family, Daddy (Paw) was the glue. They will be missed until the rest of the family is united together again in Heaven.
