Bonnie Viola Smith
July 20, 1929 — July 11, 2022
Bonnie Viola Smith was born July 20, 1929 in Kings Mountain, North Carolina and died July 11, 2022 in Casper, Wyoming.
After a brief stay in Edmond, Oklahoma, she settled in Casper in 1969. While raising her family, she worked at Memorial Hospital (Wyoming Medical Center) until her retirement.
She could have made a fortune counting cards in Vegas because she had a whip sharp memory for what cards had been played in games of Hearts or Spades. Her avocation was bingo; she always wished she could play seven days a week if it had been possible! She also loved fishing. Her passion, however, was her family. She was such a loving soul that many who were not related to her called her mom or grandma.
She is survived by her children Fred Smith (Carol) of Casper, June Smith (Auckland, New Zealand), Ernie Smith (Lisa) of Casper, and Suzanne Jenkins (Kurt) of Casper as well as her grandchildren Paul Smith, Mandy Grant, Brandi Carothers, Mollie Smith, Kathryn Smith, Josh Smith, and TJ Smith as well as many great and great-great grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her parents Robert Lee and Mary Jane Hensley; her siblings Pearl, Robert Lee, Nell, Grace, Helen, and Fred; and her grandson Kris Smith.
In lieu of flowers, the family would be grateful for donations to Central Wyoming Hospice.
At this time no services are planned. Arrangements are under the direction of Newcomer Casper Chapel.
