Memorial for Mrs. Bonita Faye Hart will be 11 a.m., Saturday, Sept 10, 2022, at Riverwood Family, with burial in the Freedom Church Cemetery.
Visitation is from 10 a.m. until the time of service.
Mrs. Hart, 66, of Wesson, passed from this life July 4, 2022, at her residence. She was born April 28, 1956, to Junior Britt and Lola Hensarling.
Bonita Faye Hart was known as Mom to her children, Granny Faye to her grandsons, Sister to her siblings, Aunt Faye to her nieces and nephews, and Faye-bird to her friends. If there were one way to describe Faye, it would be love.
In John 15:12, Jesus said, "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you." Faye was a steward of love and showed it to everyone that knew her. She was not afraid of meeting new people or hugging someone she had just met. Faye smiled every chance she got, and it was contagious. No matter the occasion. She was sure to smile.
Her life was filled with many hardships and loss, but she always managed to keep smiling and laughing through it all.
Her passion was walking rivers or creeks, looking for unique rocks and driftwood pieces to bring home. She had a way of finding beauty in things that most people would pass by or never think twice about. It was part of her character and how she saw that everything holds beauty and should be loved.
Jesus saw us, sinners, lost to the current of this life that beats us down into the sand, left never to be saved. Yet, He came and freed us by giving us a way to new life through Him.
God gave her a love for coloring. She loved being able to share that with her grandsons when they were all together. Just like her pictures, Faye was full of color in this life.
