Bonni Lu Keziah

December 2, 1955 - September 8, 2019

Bonni Lu Keziah, 63, of Matthews, died unexpectedly on Sunday, September 8, 2019, at Novant Medical Center in Matthews. Bonni was born in Charlotte on December 2, 1955, the daughter of Thomas McVay and Jenny “Jane” Beiswenger Skinner. She grew up in Charlotte, graduating from Garinger High School in 1974. Through a mutual friend, she met Rob Keziah on a double date, and in 1975, they were married in Charlotte. Bonni worked for First Data and then went on to work as a teacher’s assistant before her retirement. Many a student at Lebanon Road Elementary and Oakhurst Elementary will remember her lessons and love. When not working, she enjoyed sports. Whether watching the Carolina Panthers play or her own daughters play high school softball, she took the time to support and encourage those she loved. When her daughter married a Texan, she even adopted him into the family by becoming a fan of Texas A&M. Most of all, Bonni loved the time spent with family and friends, and contributing to making everyone’s day a bit brighter. Her love and laughter will be missed but always remembered. Bonni is survived by her husband of 44 years, Rob, of Matthews; two daughters: Crystal (husband Richard) Villanueva and their daughter Charis of Plano, Texas, and Kaila Keziah of Matthews. She is further survived by two brothers: Tom (wife Claire) Skinner of Charlotte and Ron (wife Brenda) Skinner of Homestead, FL; as well as numerous other relatives and friends. Bonni was preceded in death by her parents and a daughter, Kari Alisha Keziah. Bonni’s family has given the family of Lowe-Neddo Funeral Home the privilege of caring for her and for them.
