Bonnie J. Biagi, of Charleston, joined her daughter, Penny, in heaven on Friday, February 18, 2011.

Bonnie was born to Basil and Emma Crouch on May 19, 1918.

Bonnie is survived by her devoted husband of 72 years, Pete Biagi, Jr; son and daughter-in-law, Pete, III and Carolyn; daughter and son-in-law, Paula and Bill Young; son-in-law, Larry Shaffer, Sr.; grandchildren, Sheila Biagi, Bonnie Turner, Wendy Young, Mitchell Young, Larry, Jr., Greg, Jeff, and Rodney Shaffer; 8 great grandchildren; one great great grandson. She is also survived by her sister, Helen "Tootsie" Monday and special cousins, Dorothy "Sap" Swortzel, and Royetta Painter.

Bonnie retired from WV Oil and Gas Association as a private secretary. Her work did not end there, she made time to make a lovely home, care for and love her husband, Pete, as well as raise her three children to become responsible adults.

On top of everything else, she raised flower and vegetable gardens, made her famous homemade bread, made her own clothes, baked and decorated cakes, made panoramic Easter eggs, quilted blankets, painted pictures, made crafts of all sorts and even covered her shoes to match her dresses. You name it, she could do it.

Bonnie was a Christian and enjoyed singing in her church choir. She was a lifetime and active member in her church. She was also past president of her women's club at the church. She also sent out the church's bulletin for several years at her own expense. She was also president of the PTA when her children were in school.

Thanks to Penny and Larry's generous Christmas gift, of two plane tickets to Paris, France, she and Pete, enjoyed a wonderful and exciting time touring Europe.

Bonnie was always there for her family and friends. She not only was beautiful on the outside, but on the inside as well.

She was preceded in death by her baby daughters, Scarlett O'Hara Biagi, Penny Biagi Shaffer; mother and father; brothers, Clifton, Joe, Gene and twin brother and sister, Jessie and Chessie.

Bonnie will be sadly missed by her family and friends.

The family would like to extend a special thanks to Jean French of Kanawha Health Care, Carla and Agnes of Hospice for their care at home and the people at Hubbard Hospice House for their kindness and gentleness with mom.

At Bonnie's request there will be no visitation or service.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to: Hubbard Hospice House, 1001 Kennawa Drive, Charleston, WV 25311.

Arrangements are in the care of Keller Funeral Home, Dunbar.
