Bonnie Rae Sams' Obituary
Bonnie Rae Sams, 61, of Huntsville, Arkansas, went home to be with the Lord Saturday, August 4, 2007. She was born September 28, 1945, in Omak, Washington, to Herb and Bodell (Tannenberg) Miller. She spent her early years in Mansfield, Washington, before moving to Pateros, Washington, where she graduated from High School and also met and married Coy Sams.
She spent most of her years working in management as she lived in each of her three favorite states: Arkansas, Texas, and Washington State.
She loved and lived life to the fullest and was an inspiration to many, especially her children. The most important things to her were her relationship with Christ, her children, and her grandchildren. She taught them how to survive, to laugh, be strong and have faith in any situation, especially the most painful and trying ones. Life for her and her children was always an adventure and she has proved to us the best is yet to come! She will be greatly missed.
She is survived by her children and grandchildren. Her daughters; Renee?
