In Loving Memory of Ruth "Bonnie" Pridemore

Bonnie passed away peacefully in Wichita, Kansas, on February 11th, 2025 at the age of 77. She was born on April 29th, 1947, to Don and Hazel Dempewolf in Klamath Falls, Oregon. Eventually, she married her true love, Earl Pridemore. Their life was filled with grand adventures, uncontrollable laughter, and endless love.

Bonnie was the heart and soul of her family. She was a living embodiment of love—pure, unconditional, and limitless—spreading warmth and light to everyone lucky enough to know her.  She was the kindest soul anyone had ever met, always looking for ways to help anyone and everyone with whatever they needed. She dedicated countless hours on Facebook, coordinating jobs and household necessities for strangers while creating beautiful friendships along the way.

In times of drifting, she always found a way to bring her family together and strived to make everyone feel loved and included. Her embrace was a sanctuary, wrapping you in warmth and reassurance as if she could shield you from the world's troubles with just a hug.  Bonnie was passionate about arts and crafting, in addition to The Home Shopping Network and a vast routine of Television shows. She made sure to remember everyone's birthday and anniversary by handmaking them a greeting card. Her hands, worn yet gentle, told the story of a lifetime of love—hands that mended torn clothes, wiped away tears, and held yours just a little longer when you needed it most.
