Aunt Bonnie's parents were Andrew "Andy" Jackson Straw and Eva Grace Haynes.
Aunt Bonnie is buried between her brother Orville Wayne Straw and sister Gail Ruth White. Gail's name was actually Ruth Gail but she only used Gail,so her headstone has Gail Ruth.
Bonnie married Hugh Dean Ballard about May of 1948. They were not married when her father Andrew died in March of 1948. They divorced after 1953. Bonnie and the children live with my grandmother Eva Straw for a while at Langley, Okla. after the divorce.
Bonnie remarried a number of times at least 3 I know of. The last was to a Mr. Cooper. No one knows his first name, but may have been Charles. She was married to one named Turk unknown last name in the 1960's they lived in OKC and came to visit Aunt Gail a number times.
Son Raymond Ballard has no idea when his parents married or who else Bonnie married,when or where.
Bonnie and the children moved to California for a while before returning to Oklahoma. She also lived in Missouri for a while as well.
Hugh Dean Ballard only used the name Dean Ballard. I will connect Uncle Dean later to Aunt Bonnie's memorial. He was a very gentle man that I knew well growing up. He visited often at my Aunt Gail White's home. Aunt Gail raised my siblings and I.
Aunt Bonnie and Uncle Dean had four children.
# 1. Larry Dean (Deen) born 1-31-1949. Died 11-19-2005 California.
# 2. Raymond born 11-19-1951, lives in OKC.
