Bonnie Sue Patrick, 78, departed this life on Wednesday, November 27, 2024, after a brief illness.

Bonnie had a zest for life; bringing joy, excitement, and her dry sense of humor wherever she went. She was always ready for an adventure and had wonderful stories of her travels around the world. Some of her fondest moments were spent with her toes in the sand at the Outer Banks and relaxing on her beautiful porch. However, her true love was the time she spent with her family and the memories they shared. Her legacy will shine bright through the importance of curiosity, strength, and tradition she instilled in those who knew her.

Bonnie is survived by her devoted husband of 56 years, Eli; their two children, Emily J. Patrick (Timmy) and Robert Patrick, Jr.; and her three granddaughters, Julia R. Patrick, Presley F. Patrick, and Bristol G. Patrick.

A service will be held at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, December 3, 2024, at Covenant Funeral Service, Fredericksburg. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service at the funeral home chapel. Entombment will follow in Sunset Memorial Gardens.
