Bonnie Barnes, a cherished mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and native of the Branson area, passed away peacefully on December 10, 2025, at the age of 85. Born on August 20, 1940, in Kansas City, Missouri, to Russell and Ruth Fitch.
Bonnie's journey eventually led her family back to Branson, Missouri. Her passion for the food hospitality industry shone as she was not only the proud owner but also the hands-on operator of her establishment, where she was known for her welcoming smile and the mouthwatering dishes that became synonymous with her name.
Her love for her family was unparalleled. Bonnie is survived by her devoted daughter, Sandra Ferdig of Branson, and her son, Danny Barnes and wife Robyn of Reeds Spring. She was a pillar of love in the lives of her grandchildren, Haylee Ferdig, Casey Heckman, Kina Taylor, and great-grandchild, Emberlynn Harris. Bonnie's legacy of love, strength, and kindness will live on through them. Bonnie was preceded in her passing by her husband Sanford “Sandy” Barnes, and parents Russell and Ruth.
Bonnie's interests extended beyond her professional endeavors. She found her greatest joy in the company of her family. She was fulfilled in their company, and in caring for her husband and children. Family gatherings were moments of great opportunity for fond memories and bonding with Bonnie, a beloved mother and grandmother.
Arrangements are under the direction of Snapp-Bearden Funeral Home and Crematory.
