IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Bonnie Jean
Bley
January 17, 1924 – August 23, 2020
Early Sunday Morning on August 23, 2020, Bonnie Jean (Egle) Bley, 96 of North Platte, walked into eternity with her loving Savior, Jesus Christ.
Bonnie was physically born January 17, 1924 to Daniel and Martha Egle. Bonnie was spiritually reborn in her early childhood as a daughter of the King, now a sinner saved by grace.
On August 1, 1946, Bonnie married Herman B. Bley, and to this union four children were born: Jerry, Marsha, Janette and Terry.
Bonnie spent seventeen years teaching in the public schools, loving and caring for children of all ages. She was a member of the rural Eden Missionary Church and was actively involved teaching Sunday school, VBS, served as the pianist, organist and deaconess.
Bonnie and Herman were members of the Gideon International Ministry and enjoyed distributing Bibles to many around the world. They both prayed for those who would receive the Bibles, and Bonnie served as the Auxiliary State Chaplin for three years.
Bonnie loved the Lord and shared the joy of her Lord with others, through friendly encouragement, spiritual support, prayers and at times, a meal. Being the hands and feet of her Lord, her legacy is her family and friends who will miss her greatly but are so thankful she is home forevermore. She will unite with family and loved ones and there will be no more tears, sorrow or disappointment, a glorious reunion.
She is survived by her children, Jerry (Pat) Bley of Yukon, OK, Marsha (Michael) Kautz-Ryan of North Platte, Janette (Lee) Jones of Batesville, IN and Terry (Kelly) Bley of Goshen, IN; grandchildren, Jeff (Tara)Kautz, Jeremy (Kira) Kautz, Julie (Michael) Shutley, Jordan (Adrienne) Bley, Trisha (Scott) Brecheen, Josh Campbell, Cassie Kayrouz, Savannah (Ethan) Dize, Mikayla, Dawson and Olivia Bley; and fifteen great grandchildren, Kristopher, Josiah, and Kate Kautz, Greyson and Kellen Kautz, Addison, Audrey, Avery, August Shutley, Hazel and Boaz Bley, Miles Brecheen
