Pranee ‘Bonnie’ Kravitz was born on May 5th, 1946 in Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand to Sanee and Keaow Nuampakdee. She was the second oldest of seven children.

She came to the United States in October 1976 and worked for the Civil Service for over 30 years. In 2016, at the age of 70, she retired from the Orlando VA Medical Center.

Bonnie was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. She had a heart of gold and always put others before herself. She showed her love by always lending a helping hand and giving selflessly without expecting anything in return. Bonnie brought joy to others with her lively spirit and knack for holiday decorating.

Bonnie enjoyed cooking, bowling, and gardening. She always baked delicious goodies and rarely went anywhere empty handed. She was known for her delicious spring rolls and carrot cake, just to name a few. Giving and feeding others is what Bonnie loved to do. She also brought offerings and volunteered at the Buddhist Temple by serving in the kitchen.

In their free time, Bonnie and Pete participated in a weekly bowling league and traveled many years to state and national tournaments. Alongside Pete, she served over 10 years with the Seminole County Bowling Association.

When it came to gardening, Bonnie had a green thumb like no other, everything she touched flourished into beautiful blooms and fruit. She was proud of her garden and graciously shared the fruits of her labor.

Bonnie is survived by her dear husband, Brantley 'Pete' Pierce, daughters Prapussorn 'Ying' Stoneking (Charlie Stoneking), and grandchildren Samantha Stoneking, and Sydney Stoneking, from Midwest City, OK, and Cheryl Kravitz, and granddaughter, Chloe Analise Bowers, of Sanford, FL, and stepdaughters Kimberley Benton (Ronnie Benton) of Bluff City, TN, and Sonya Pierce Norman, and grandchildren Dustin Geames, and Jada Spradlin of Knoxville, TN. She is also survived by two brothers and two sisters from Thailand and a host of extended family and friends.
She is preceded in death by her mother, her father, and two brothers, all of Thailand.
