Bonnie D. McKee

Bonnie Louise McKee was born on January, 20, 1930 to Howard L. Day Sr. and Bonnie Lamberth Day in Tarrant, AL. She grew up in Tarrant and graduated from Jefferson County High School in 1947. Bonnie worked for State Farm Insurance and the SSA before becoming a full time stay at home mom, while also obtaining her Real Estate License at that time. 

She was married to Evon McKee on December 13, 1947 and celebrated 68 years of a loving and caring marriage before our dad died in 2016. Bonnie and Evon lived in Tarrant before moving to the Roebuck-Huffman area in October 1953. They lived and raised their children in this area until moving to Clay to experience farm life. Later in life they moved to Trussville in 1994 to be closer to their children and was their final residence. 

Our mom and dad loved their children, grandchildren, and great grands fiercely. Our hope is that our mom and dad know just a fraction of how much that we loved them. Their marriage was a wonderful example of the loving union of two people that God brought together. Bonnie and Evon were members of First Baptist Church Trussville and attended a couples class there for several years. 

Our love for our mother is everlasting and we are grateful that she is reunited with her loved ones in Heaven and is at peace forever. 

She is survived by her children, Janet McKee Murphree (Paul), Joy McKee Brewer (Lee), Timothy Kirk McKee (friend Tammy Smith); grandchildren, Jonathan Paul Murphree (Jayna), Christopher Lee Brewer (Bethany), Matthew Timothy Brewer (Leslie); great grands, Jon-Elyn, Ava, Ruthie, Sam, Eli, Beau, Emmie, Worth, Banks, Mac; sister, Elsie Day Wilson; sister in law, Martha Day; and nieces and nephews. 

Preceding her in death is her Husband, Evon McKee; son, Terry Jonathan McKee; granddaughter, Jennifer L. Murphree Burnett; and brother, Howard L. Day, Jr.
