Bonnie Jean Buck On November 13, 2025, Bonnie Jean Buck of Mt Pleasant, NC went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It was a day of angels rejoicing and a grand welcoming on the streets of gold. Our minds cannot fathom how glorious that day really was for Bonnie. Those of us left here, find comfort in this heavenly celebration. Even with saddened hearts, we reflect on God’s faithfulness and His love for us and our love for Bonnie. We will miss Bonnie dearly. Bonnie was a believer and a follower of the Lord Jesus. He was the focus of her life and her best friend. She made her love for the Lord a testimony of her life. She was always wanting to grow in her faith and learn more, especially in the last 5-6 years of her life. She had an increasing faith even throughout her illness. She declared healing and wholeness and knew the Lord had answered her prayers. Bonnie had a very deep love for her family too. She bragged about her 3 boys and was so proud of each of them. As a young mother, she was very involved in their lives. She was a little league coach and was quite pleased that her team won the local World Series in 1975. Bonnie started working in the Clintondale Public Schools as a crossing guard when the boys were young. With great giftedness, professionalism and dedication, Bonnie worked her way up in the school system and retired as the Executive Secretary to the Superintendent of Schools. She was a great teacher in life and had a way of doing things that brought out the best in people. She was a loyal friend and was also very generous, thoughtful and loving. She had a very keen sense of when others needed a word of encouragement and she was excellent at meeting that need. She loved to make others smile. She loved her small size, although she joked about “someday” being tall enough to do ‘whatever’. Her petite frame was not a hindrance to her confidence nor her boldness. She was not timid to share her thoughts, sometimes with a little sass and spunk. This was part of her charm. Bonnie had many interests including reading, doing crossword puzzles, yard work, gardening, bike riding, camping, fishing and traveling. She loved horses and watched horse jumping competitions on TV most everyday. Another of her favorite things to do was to play cards. Euchre was her favorite and she was a bit ruthless in her playing.
