Before moving to Jasper, she served as the Youth Minister at Winfree Church in Richmond, Virginia. Bonnie is a native of Virginia, grew up in Marietta, Georgia and graduated from LaGrange College. She has been married to her husband Jay for 31 years and they have four grown children. She enjoys reading, hiking, spending time with her family and friends and taking her dog for long walks.
Bonnie finds great fulfillment in being invested in the community, in the lives of teenagers and seeing their lives changed for eternity.
