Obituary for Bonnie Irene (Solders) Pickthorn

Bonnie Irene  (Solders) Pickthorn
Bonnie Irene Youngblood Solders Pickthorn, 94 passed into the outstretched arms of her Lord and Savior on Tuesday, Jan.9, 2018. Bonnie was born February 18, 1923 to John Riley Youngblood and Sarah Ethel Sneed Youngblood in Jerome, Idaho. The seventh child in a family of ten siblings (eight brothers and two sisters) Bonnie moved with her family to Arkansas for several years until The Great Depression caused them to return in 1936 to Weiser, Idaho to find work.

There she met, fell in love with and married a local cowboy, Earl Solders in 1940. Soon after, they began their little family: a daughter, Bonnie Kaye and two sons, Virgil and Arlen, and moved in 1950 to Quincy where Earl leveled land in the area and eventually farmed. Bonnie later was employed by Quincy School District as kitchen server, baker, head cook and eventually supervisor, retiring in 1981 after faithfully and always joyfully working for twenty-four years. After Earl died at the early age of fifty-seven, Bonnie married George Pickthorn, another farmer in 1980 and they were married for sixteen years until his death. Bonnie has left a beautiful legacy in her life of ninety-four years: an everlastingly deep faith in God, a devoted prayer life and unconditional love for her family and everyone she ever met.

Bonnie is survived by one son, Arlen (Dyanne) of Quincy, one sister, Audrey Williams of West Jordan, Utah, nine precious grandchildren, twenty-four awesome great grandchildren, and twelve sweet great great grandchildren, numerous nieces and nephews whom she loved like her own, a loving church family, and many, many friends some of whom she called every day. She was preceded in death by her parents, her loving husbands, Earl and George, daughter Bonnie Kaye, son Virgil, eight brothers, one sister, a precious grandson, Steven and two sweet infant great great grandchildren, James Mathew Milligan and Mica James Solders.

A Celebration of Bonnie's Life will take place Saturday, Jan. 27, 2018 at 11:00 AM at Quincy Free Methodist Church, 301 I St. SW, Quincy with a luncheon to follow.
