It's with a heavy heart that we deliver the announcement that Bonnie Dale (Johnson) Dowdy passed away on June 20th, 2022. Bonnie was born on July 12th, 1938, in Hico, Texas. She graduated from Hico High School in 1957 with the awards and achievements of All School Favorite, Class Favorite, Basketball Captain and
All District Guard.
She married James Dowdy of Clairette, Texas, on February 8th, 1957. They had two children, Acanthia and Aaron, and lived in Arlington, Texas. Bonnie started her career at UTA in 1966 as a keypunch operator and, over the years, was promoted to Manager, User Services. In 1986 she received the 'Employee of the Year award, and she was very proud of this accomplishment. During her lifetime, she became a very talented
artist and loved to paint and decorate for all seasons, although Halloween and Christmas were her favorites.
She retired from UTA at age 55 and was ready to live life to the fullest. She met and fell in love with Dave E. Bloxom Sr., and they traveled worldwide. Her favorite places were Africa and Ireland. She adored her grandchildren Ryan, Taylor, Bailey, and Peyton. They loved going to her houses, taking trips, and playing games. She made lifelong friends in every part of her life, whether classmates, co-workers, spoken ladies, and her travel and supper club groups.
After Dave's passing, she started managing the Property Management Division for Dave E. Bloxom. Foundation. This grew to be her next career until she turned 81. She had great relationships with the tenants, constantly repairing the building to ensure everyone had a safe workplace. She even became very close friends with all the contractors. In 2016, the Bloxom foundation board members elected to honor her with a yearly scholarship in her name to support a student at UTA. She continued
to serve on the board as President until her passing and took her position very seriously with great pride and privilege.
She was very generous, considerate, warm-hearted, and gracious. She was the life of the party and always made everyone feel special. On the flip side, she loved to play jokes on everyone, and no one was off-limits. This is how she lived her life!
Bonnie is survived by her daughter, Acanthia Norman, and son Aaron Dowdy, son-in-law Doug Norman, grandchildren, Bailey and Peyton Norman, Ryan and Taylor Dowdy, and sibling, Tommy Johnson.
She lived, she loved, and was loved.
All District Guard.
