Bonnie Lou Florence, 84, of Falmouth, passed away at her home on Thursday, August 25, 2022.
Born on April 5, 1938, in Pendleton County, KY, she was a daughter of the late Curry Tivis and Virgie Gladys Powell Russell. Bonnie had a zest for life, and she brightened every room she entered. For decades, she has worked at Howard’s Place, formerly the Dairy Queen, where she served up many a meal with a warm smile, a kind word, and true Southern hospitality. For 10 years, Bonnie worked as a bus driver (#2) for the Pendleton County Schools. She loved her family, friends, and everything about Pendleton County. She was a member of the Falmouth Baptist Church, Woodmen of the World Lodge #611, and volunteered for countless school, church, and community activities. On February 13, 2013, she married Rondall Brock, and her dear husband survives her passing.
