Bonnie Marie Redwine Hollis, known as "Meemaw" by all family and as "Miss

Eulogy will be given by Jimmy Redwine. Interment will follow at Legion Memorial 
Cemetery in Newellton, LA. Visitation will be from 9:30 A.M. until time of

Bonnie began her life on March 13, 1923, in Yell County, Arkansas. She was the 
sixth child of James Leroy and Illa Mae Reeves Redwine with four sisters and 
two brothers. While the children were still very young, the family moved to 
Tensas Parish, Louisiana, where many of them lived and worked most of the rest 
of their lives. As a young woman, Bonnie moved into the nearby town of St. 
Joseph, the Parish Seat of Tensas Parish, where she lived, worked, raised her 
family, and cared for family and friends until moving to West Monroe, Louisiana 
in 1994, to be closer to family. Bonnie was a dedicated Christian who served 
the Lord every day of her life. While in St. Joseph, she attended the Church of 
Christ with many friends. Once in West Monroe, she attended the Jackson Street 
Church of Christ with family and many other friends. Bonnie was a strong lady 
and believed deeply in the Word of The Lord as evidenced by her life and the 
love, care, and attention she gave to all her family and new acquaintances she 
soon after called friends.

Preceding Bonnie in death were her parents, all sisters and brothers, husband 
Josh "Jack" Hollis, sons-in-law, Don R Wood and Frank Gipson, daughter-in-law, 
Connie Fredrick Allen, and "raised like a grandson", Jake Redwine. Bonnie 
leaves, to cherish her memory, her son Rollie F. Allen, Jr. and Wife Cindy of 
Lafayette, LA, her daughter Dianna Wood Gipson of West Monroe, LA; her "raised 
like daughters" Marsha Pace and husband Wayne of Prairieville, LA, and Leann 
Bounds and husband Steve of Vicksburg, MS; her "raised like a son" Jimmy 
Redwine and wife Kaye of Georgetown, TX; 6 grandchildren - Ricky, Shannon, 
Paula, Jay, Mike, and Mandy; 13 great-grand children; 3 great-great-

Dennis of Monroe.
