Bonnie Griggs

GRIGGS Bonnie Fay Griggs passed quietly over into Glory from her home in Jacksonville, FL early February 1st, 2016. She was born in McRoberts, KY July 5th, 1935, one of five children. She spent most of her life in the Midwest, primarily in Ohio. It was there she married her life-long partner Jack in 1954 and together they raised 4 sons. They both turned their lives over to their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in 1961. They each worked tirelessly while trying to raise 4 boys so they could provide them with a better start in life than they had. They retired in 1998 from the family business in Indiana and moved to Florida. Jack passed away in 2009 and Bonnie joined Deermeadows Baptist Church who welcomed her into their family of believers. She loved serving in the church in a variety of ways while also remaining very active walking, swimming, sewing and reading. She always played a very active role in the lives of her children, grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren. Bonnie lived life to the fullest and greatly appreciated all of God's blessings here on earth, while at the same time eagerly anticipating meeting Jesus face to face and receiving her heavenly body. Bonnie's many family and friends surviving her look forward to reuniting with her in heaven someday, they include her sisters Geraldine Jackman and Lois Congleton; sons Steven (Kath), Jeff, Scott (Brenda Jo) and Eric (Melissa); grandchildren Jason (Carrie), Kristen Jetter (Adam) and Joe; Sarah Quick (Micah), Jennifer Ananias (Jon) and Laura Gelatt (Eric); Brett, Braxton and Brooke; James, Alex and Vanessa. The family will receive friends at Deermeadows Baptist Church 9780 Baymeadows Rd on Saturday, February 6th at 1pm with a celebration of her life immediately following at 2pm.
