Bonabeth (Mallonee) Andrews peacefully passed away in her home on January 2, 2026. She was surrounded by loved ones and met her Savior at the age of 100 years, 10 months, and 9 days! She was the daughter of Leta (Fulton) and Ray Mallonee, born February 24, 1925. We so enjoyed her stories and her perspective of our country’s history, including the Depression, WWII and the changes she witnessed in the world.
Bonabeth was preceded in death by her parents, Leta & Roy, two brothers, James & Allen Mallonee, her Dear husband, David Andrews, and her Wonderful, loving son, Steve Wilson.
She is survived by her son, Bart Andrews & wife Julie and her daughter Janet Beck & husband Ken, granddaughters, Vanessa (Mike) Richardson & Alyssa Carroll and her daughter Kailey. She is also survived by grandson, Walker (Alyssa) Wilson and their son, our precious Cannon.
Bonabeth went to college to be a teacher and taught for 2 years at Kelly Chapel during the war. She also worked as a dental assistant, when she met and married David. She was a helper on the farm, a master gardener with vegetables and flowers, Loving Wife, Wonderful Mother, Caring Grandmother and Friend.
Bonabeth helped and influenced so many people in her 100 years. She was a devoted Christian, being baptized on Easter Sunday when she was 12. She wanted everyone to know her Jesus.
