Cora “Bonnie” Gene King– age 89 of Louisville, TN passed away peacefully on September 26, 2026, after a short illness. Bonnie was born in Scott County, Tennessee on May 28, 1937. She had a long career as an insurance agent.
Bonnie loved spending time with her family and friends, shopping, and gardening. She was a sweet, kind, and loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and aunt. She also spoke her mind, stood up for what she thought was right and never left you wondering where she stood. She had a wonderful sense of humor –loved laughing, having fun and watching children learn and play. Bonnie was the “cleaner” of the family-everything had to be pretty and clean. Her favorite time of the year was Spring and Summer when she could be outside planting flowers and making everything pretty. When finished with yardwork, she would swing on her porch and enjoy the view.
Preceded in death by parents, Jesse and Delia Stewart; sons, Dennis Glenn Neely and Jeffrey Ray Walker; sisters, Jhnell Shifflett, Sally Stewart, and Vivian Manis; and brothers, Donnie Stewart and Sam Stewart.
