Bonnie Wood Mason age 83, of Owensboro, KY passed away peacefully on February 23, 2026 in her home of over 50 years. She was born on September 2, 1942 in Norfolk, Virginia to the late Robert and Hattie Wood.
She grew up in Norfolk, Virginia and enjoyed yearly visits to her home town to visit her family and eating at Dumars, where her parents met. She was a devoted mother to her two sons and shared a close and cherished bond with her late sister. Her greatest joy was becoming a “MeMe” to her two grandchildren. She adored Grant and Norah and cherished every moment with them.
Bonnie was known for being wonderfully talkative and had a gift for storytelling, always ready to share a memory or a laugh. She enjoyed cross-stitching and took pride in creating beautiful handmade pieces. She also loved bringing her famous orange juice cakes to her co-workers at Target.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Robert and Hattie Mae Wood; her husband, Samuel Mason III; sister Gladys Lloyd; and brother, Skipper Bland.
Left to cherish her memory are her children, Samuel Allen Mason IV (Kelly) of Nashville, TN and Robert Mason (Magan) of Bowling Green, KY; her two grandchildren, Grant and Norah; and she is also survived by many loving nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews.
The family is deeply grateful to Jenny (Her G.G) and Sandra, for the devoted care, kindness, and companionship they’ve shown to her over the past 6 years. Jenny brought so much joy to Bonnie’s life and the family is forever grateful.
A private memorial service will be held at a later date. James H. Davis Funeral Home & Crematory is in charge of the arrangements.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Hospice of Western Kentucky, 3419 Wathens Crossing, Owensboro, KY

Bonnie Mason’s life was marked by both challenge and triumph, yet she never wavered in her devotion to her two sons. In every hardship, she found strength, and in every struggle, she chose love. Her life remains a testament to a mother’s unwavering spirit and unconditional love.
