Born July 31, 1927, to Alvin and Myrtle Smith Proctor in Choctaw County, Mississippi, Bonnie “Sue” Dobbs dedicated much of her life to caring for others through her work as a nurse at the Tri-County Nursing Home in Louisville, Mississippi. Following her retirement, she and her husband moved to Ruston, Louisiana, where she became a devoted member of Calvary Baptist Church of Ruston. Her faith was a guiding force in her life, and she found joy and community in her church family.
