Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 6, 2012.

Our beloved Mattie Mae Bondurant, 98, went home to glory on March 5, 2012. She passed away peacefully at her Clemmons home, surrounded by love. She was born August 5, 1913 to William and Maggie Benthal in Moscow, KY. Over the years, she had resided in TN, FLA, and MD before moving to Winston Salem, NC in 1984. She was employed for several years by the Equitable Trust Bank of Baltimore, Md., and she was a member of Pine Grove UMC of Winston Salem. She is preceeded in death by her parents, her siblings Katherine, Lucy and Karl Benthal, her husband of 48 years, Wilbur Bondurant, and her beloved cat, Tigger. Mrs. Bondurant will be remembered for her sassy spirit, sharp wit, sense of humor and loving heart. In her lifetime she enjoyed gardening, reading, baseball, Laurence Welk and spending time with her family and pets. The many memories she created will be cherished. She is survived by her daughter Kathy Edwards and son in law William Edwards of the home, son John Bondurant (Elizabeth) of Fla., daughter in law Janet Bondurant of W.S., four grandchildren: Ray Cameron (Ann) of Baltimore, Md., Marcie Bouley (John) of Lewisville, Ashley Clark (Chuck) of W.S., Lacy Southerland (Siler) of W.S. , eight great grandchildren: Jake, Rachel and Mark Cameron, John Paul and Jackson Bouley, Charlie and Bo Clark, and Cameron Southerland. She is also survived by her dear friend Alice Bolt of Norfolk, Va. The loving care and remarkable devotion her daughter Kathy provided has been an exceptional example of love. The family would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Hospice of Winston Salem, especially to her loving caretaker Tina Gladden who has been a blessing and great support. A celebration of Mattie's life will be held Wednesday from 7-9pm at Frank Vogler & Sons Clemmons Chapel. Graveside service will be held Thursday at 12 o'clock at Pine Grove UMC in Winston Salem.

Marcie I really see the resemblence, you favor Mrs. Mattie Mae. I know you and your Mom will miss her terribly, but I believe she will now be able to watch over you and the rest of the family, like she used to. She has a new address now, one where she will be herself again, and she and Wilbur and Tigger can be together. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers at this really difficult time.
