Bonnie Pipkins Beyer

Bonnie Pipkins Beyer – born January 8, 1937 in Lucedale, MS and a longtime resident of Mobile passed away on Saturday, March 30, 2013, at the age of 76. She was a woman of exceptional character, intelligence and beauty overshadowed only by her kindness and devotion to God, family and friends. From her birthplace in Lucedale she lived in Mobile, AL, San Antonio, TX, and Washington D.C. before proudly retiring her role as a civil servant of the United States Air Force and returning to Mobile. There, she reveled in the fine Southern company of her siblings, neighbors, fellow churchgoers and golfing friends. We will all miss her dearly and remember well all the love she spread so generously. Mrs. Beyer was preceded in death by her parents, Clyde and Raybelle Pipkins; brothers, Edward R. Pipkins and J.C. Pipkins; sisters, Mary Hill and Peggy Fortenberry; three nephews, and one niece. She is survived by her son, Scott Beyer (Allison); granddaughters, Sara and Rachel Beyer; sisters, Arlene Bush and Sue Dees; brothers, Elroy Pipkins (Ann) and Jarvis Pipkins (Dulcie); 7 nieces, and 11 nephews. The family will receive friends in the parlor at Christ United Methodist Church on Saturday, April 6, 2013, from 10 a.m. until the 11 a.m. memorial service to be held in the church sanctuary with Rev. Jeff Spiller officiating. A Celebration of Life luncheon will follow at the church. Condolences may be offered at www.radneyfuneralhome-mobile.com.
