Bonnie May (Luecke)Barth
Bonnie May (Luecke) Barth, 77, of Sullivan, Missouri, passed away Saturday, January 23, 2021 at Missouri Baptist Hospital in Sullivan, surrounded by her loving family.
Bonnie was born in Sullivan, Missouri, September 7, 1943, the daughter of the late George and Mabel (Cunio) Luecke. She was united in marriage to Charles Barth on November 2, 1973, at Old Argo Presbyterian Church in Japan, Missouri.
Bonnie always felt fortunate that she was able to spend her life living in the Japan area, on the family farm where her father and grandfather had been born and grew up. Her house was always open and noted for having hot coffee, cold sweet tea, and something to eat for anyone that would come by on business or just for visiting. The children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and neighbor kids that got off the school bus at grandmas knew there was always something to eat and lots of love for them all.
Bonnie’s survivors include her husband, Charles Barth; three children: Jeffrey Bristow and wife, Dawn, Tanya (Bristow) Rapp and her husband, Bill, and Jill (Bristow) Hagedorn and husband, Rick; one step daughter, Deanna Barth and significant other, Tracy Deveydt; one sister, Ila Faye (Luecke) Stumpe; nine grandchildren: Brian Brendel, Rachael Record, Mandy Duncan, Jenny Bristow, Brooke Gaskill, Megan Stubblefield, Melissa Hammonds, Alaina Rapp and Max Hagedorn; seven step grandchildren: Justin Blanton, Josh Blanton, Jessica Kennedy, T.J.
