Bonnie Willis (McCaslin), 70, died Saturday, March 30, 2019, in her family home, surrounded by her two daughters and family. She was born July 20, 1948, in Fortuna, Missouri, the daughter of the late Claude and Elsie (Anderson) Crenshaw.

Bonnie met James Willis in 1969 and they soon married. They were together until his death in August of 2002. They started their family in February 1971, with the beautiful birth of their first daughter Lisa, and the birth of their second daughter Kelly on Christmas Day 1975. Bonnie loved ALL her daughters deeply and unconditionally

She is survived by: daughters, Kelly Willis and Monnie King, both from South Hutchinson, Lisa and Greg Rodriguez, both from Hutchinson; sisters, Audean Dale and Alice Williams; brothers, Jackie and Donnie Crenshaw; her beloved grandchildren, John James and Christopher Leslie, Bradly King, Hayley and Jett Rodriguez; her husband, Lyle McCaslin; and seven great-grandchildren.

She was a ceramic teacher assistant, who was taught by MaryJane Brunk (South Hutchinson), whom she loved and adored. Bonnie enjoyed playing Skip-Bo and dominoes even if Kelly always won. She painted many beautiful pieces and won several awards and recognition for them. Bonnie was an avid collector of pajamas and did not like the words eggs and pizza. Bonnie did not like using a motorized cart when Kelly was around, as they would end up playing a game of bumper cars.

Bonnie made a huge impact, and was very loved by everyone that met her and would always make people smile and laugh, even to others that did not know her. She is known nationally by her ever-so-popular viral videos made by her daughter. The latest video was her at Wal-Mart, which was viewed and shared by several thousand people.
