She was a member of Government Street Baptist Church where she served faithfully until her illness progressed. She always cherished giving her time to the Homeless Women’s ministry where she even solicited other community hairdressers to provide beauty services for women in need.

Bunny was happiest when she was with her family. Charlie was the love of her life – they were to celebrate their 43rd wedding anniversary June 19th. He never left her side. Their marriage was genuine and blessed. She adored her children and grandchildren. It was her top priority to make sure they always appreciated and enjoyed life, that they were loved more than they ever knew, and that they had the best there was to have. NOTHING was too good for her babies.

Bunny’s beauty, love, and strength made her abundantly special. She was a beautiful person inside and out. She genuinely loved everyone. She was a shining light to the community that will be greatly and sincerely missed by all who knew her.
