She was preceded in death by her daughter, Jaquetta Young Walker; her husband, James Edward Young; and her father, Oscar Lenford Hodges. Bonnie was a loving daughter, sister, mother, and grandmother who cared deeply for those around her.

After graduating in 1970, she worked happily for many years as a seamstress at Bassett. As an adult, she attended Cool Springs church where she loved to help with arts and crafts.
