Bonnie Faye Trevathan

Bonnie Faye Trevathan, 81, of Dayton, Texas, gained her wings and joined the heavenly Lord, on Saturday, January 22, 2022, at her residence. She was born on October 13, 1940, to the late Charlie Morris and Helen Albertine Entler Chandler. Bonnie graduated from Tarkington High School, the class of 1958. She was dedicated to her faith in the Lord and loved attending church at Greater Faith Apostolic Church in Dayton, where she was an active member.

Bonnie pursued many interests, some of which included watching television, especially soap operas, reading romance novels which she stored underneath her bed and working puzzle books. Bonnie was a kind, loving and AMAZING woman, with a big heart and was always willing to help someone in need. And when she cried the family knew to watch out and stay out of her path.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her infant daughter Sue Ann Trevathan; and her brothers Charlie, Ed and Lomas Chandler; sisters Margie Mae Tatum, Rose Lee Chandler, Vera Kato, Cora Mae Chandler; brother in law Sammy Neal.
