Bonnie Ruth Cobb-Grabeal was born on May 10, 1941 on a ranch south of Clayton, New Mexico to Cecil and Celia Walton Cobb. Bonnie passed away on July 12, 2025 in Weatherford, OK at the age of 84. Bonnie was the oldest of five children, having four younger brothers that she kept in line throughout her life. Her family moved to Felt, OK in 1945 where she started school. Her grandparents moved to Keyes, OK in 1947 and her family followed them soon after. One of her and her brothers’ favorite memories was going to the Luna Theater in Clayton on Saturday afternoons.

Bonnie started high school in Keyes but graduated from Plainview High School after meeting the love of her life. Bonnie met Martin Grabeal in 1957 when he came up to her while she was working concession stand and asked her out. They were married in Guymon on July 19, 1958.

Bonnie was blessed with two daughters, being born on the same day, two years apart. Nikki LaDeen in 1961 and Beth Sue in 1963. Together with Martin, Bonnie raised her family on the farm until retirement. Bonnie was known for her hospitality. She never met a stranger and there was always an open seat at her table.

Bonnie was a great cook and worked at Plainview School for many years, serving the students’ home cooked meals. She also spent time as a bus driver and waitress, all while keeping everything together at home.

Traveling to Red River, NM to camp with friends and family was a special time for Bonnie. She spent many a summer weeks cooking over the campfire and scaring away bears with her wooden spoon and pot. She also enjoyed traveling to cheer on her grandsons in their various activities.

Bonnie love to play basketball and socialize with friends. She was a fierce rattlesnake killer and could bring the sickest puppy back to life with her special touch.
