Obituary

Bonita (Bonnie) Jean Devor Proffitt, 67, of Bluefield, VA., passed away peacefully, October 4, 2024, after a long illness, surrounded by family, at WVU Medicine Princeton Community Hospital, Princeton, WV.

Born on September 10, 1957, and a lifelong resident of Bluefield, Va., Bonnie is the daughter of William R. Devor and the late Charlotte G. Devor. She attended Graham High School, class of 1975, and Southwest Community College. Bonnie's early work years began at Heck's Department store. From there she joined the Walmart team and retired early then later worked for the Foot and Ankle Clinic under Dr. Thomas Donatelli. Bonnie attended the Tip Top Church of God in North Tazewell, VA and had committed her life to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Bonnie (aka BonBon) had the most beautiful smile, the kindest heart, loved her family deeply, enjoyed travelling to the beach (when she could), watching favorite TV shows, listening, dancing to 70's music and enjoying her most favorite food in the world, Mexican, at her favorite restaurant, El Patio. But her absolute joy came from holding and playing with her great-grandchildren. She will always be loved, never forgotten, and forever missed.  As a final act of love from her family, Bonnie gave the gift of life through an organ donation.
