Bonnie Griffin

Mrs. Bonnie Jean Griffin, 77, of Winston-Salem, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, June 22, 2021. Bonnie was born May 29, 1944, in Bedford, Virginia. Bonnie was raised by mother, Doris Hooper Jamison and loving step-father, Russell A. Jamison along with father, Harry F. Smith and loving step-mother, Edith Mae Smith.

In her free time, she enjoyed gardening and cooking for anyone with an appetite. She was an adoring “Yaya” to her 3 grandsons and enjoyed coloring pictures ambidextrously for them, an exercise that helped keep her mind sharp.  In addition to her parents, Bonnie was preceded in death by her husband of 30 years, Garrett “Garry” Griffin.

Bonnie is survived by her daughter, Michelle Crouch and husband Kevin; grandsons, Kaden Crouch, Brennan Crouch, and Lachlan Crouch; sister, Vicki Freeman; brother, K.T. Jamison; sister, Linda Smith; brother, Dannie Smith, and many loved nieces and nephews.
