A private graveside service will be held for Bonnie Jean (Edwards) Higgins, 83, of Myrtle Point, on Friday, Feb. 8, at the Catching Creek Cemetery.
Bonnie was born March 21, 1924, in Bandon, the youngest of four children and the only daughter of George Lewis and Bertha May Edwards, all of whom preceded her in death. She died Feb. 3, 2008, in Coos Bay.
Bonnie's ancestors had lived in the United States since at least the mid-1700s. She attended grade school in a one-room school house up in the hills in Langlois. She attended Riverton High School for two years and then finished at Marshfield High School, graduating in 1942.
Bonnie married her sweetheart, Lester Delizon Higgins, on March 21, 1943. Together they lived through the Great Depression, World War II, the Korean War, Kennedy's assassination, the Vietnam War, the first man on the moon, the development of the personal computer and Internet and two children.
During the early years of their marriage, Bonnie was the cook in a logging camp up the Coos River, where Lester worked.
Bonnie worked hard all her life, both at home and in a wide variety of jobs. Some of her jobs included mill work in Port Orford, working in the Millard School in the Langlois hills, Dick's Feed Store and she even worked for many years at the Langlois Market, where they now have a sandwich named in her honor. The thought of this sandwich always brought a smile to her face.
Bonnie and Lester lived in Langlois for 30 years before moving back to Myrtle Point. Bonnie was always very active in her church wherever the family lived and was a member of the Langlois Community Church and the Myrtle Point Baptist Church. She had a great faith in God and trusted him always.
Bonnie was a loving wife, dedicated mother, generous grandmother and wonderful great-grandmother. She loved her family, her friends and God. There just wasn't anyone on the earth she did not love. To know Bonnie was to love and respect her.
Bonnie is survived by her husband of nearly 65 years, Lester of Myrtle Point; daughter, Connie McMurrain, granddaughters, Kerrie and Catie McMurrian, and great-grandson, Thomas, all of Myrtle Point; son and daughter-in-law, Calvin and Yvonne Higgins of Klamath Falls; grandson, Daniel and wife, Laurie Higgins and children, Calvin Thomas and Emmeline of Eugene; grandson, Michael and wife, Meilanie Higgins and sons, Devin and Zack of Orem, Utah; granddaughter, Elizabeth and husband, Steve Cormack and children, Jacob, Makenna, and Kyler all of Fort Collins, Colo.; and granddaughter, Joleane and husband, James Sharp and children, Logan and Taylor of Corvallis.
