Mildred (Bonnie) Evonne Hyde, daughter of Fredrick and Clara Kenney Shell, was born June 11, 1921, in Colridge, Neb., and departed this life May 13, 2009, in Lebanon, Mo., at the age of 87 years. A memorial service was held Friday, May 22, at Shadel’s Colonial Chapel in Lebanon with Rev. David Scott presiding.
Bonnie grew up in the Wilcox and Maryville, Mo. area. On Oct. 22, 1942, she was united in marriage with Thomas (Gene) Eugene Hyde and to this union was born four children. Gene served in the United States Army from March 1943 to November 1945 and from March 1947 to July 1965 when he retired as a Chief Warrant Officer. Gene preceded her in death in January 2008.
Because of Gene’s service in the military, Bonnie, Gene, and their family moved frequently. They lived in Atlanta, Ga.; Killeen, Texas; Chambersburg, Penn.; Pirmasens, Germany; and Niagara Falls, N.Y. When Gene retired from the Army in 1965, the family moved to Bedford, Iowa, and in 1977, to Lebanon. While living in Bedford, Bonnie was a quality-control inspector at O’Bryan Brothers.
Bonnie was always the definition of “homemaker.” She kept her home running smoothly and with great ease. She treated everyone as part of her family and welcomed them with open arms. At each of her homes, Bonnie grew and tended beautiful flower gardens.
Bonnie was a member of First United Methodist Church in Lebanon for many years. A gathering for family and friends was held at the church following her memorial service.
Bonnie is survived by two sons: Thomas E. Hyde, Jr. and his wife Elizabeth of North Liberty, Iowa, and Charles Virgil Hyde of Lebanon; one daughter: Celia Warneke of Alamo, Texas; six grandchildren: Aryc, Aaryn, Tanya, Jeannie, Jennifer, and Brittney; and several great-grandchildren. Her nephews include Jesse F. Everhart III of Camanche, Iowa; Donald Everhart of Bedford; William Everhart, Williamsburg, Iowa; Fredrick Everhart of Grandview, Mo.; and Larry Dunning of Creston, Iowa. Ramona Hall Colburn Boatright of Rea, Mo., is her niece.
She was preceded in death by her husband; one son, Donald Hyde, and her five sisters: Eva Everhart and Daphine McMullin, Bedford; Leona Hall Risley, Maryville and Alaska, and Leora Shell and Doris O’Dell, California.
