Bonnie was born on May 20, 1950, in Marshall, Texas, to Bennie Calvin and Callie Mae (McDaniels) Daniels. On February 14, 1970, she married the love of her life, Howard Biel, in Houston, Texas. Together, they built a beautiful life marked by devotion, faith, and a deep love for family.

A dedicated bookkeeper, Bonnie spent many fulfilling years serving in the pharmacy industry. Beyond her professional life, she will be remembered for her gentle spirit, her kindness, her steady presence, and the love she so freely shared with everyone she met. She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend—roles she cherished and embraced wholeheartedly. Her loss leaves a profound emptiness in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.

Bonnie was preceded in death by her parents, Bennie and Callie Daniels.

Those left to treasure her memory include her devoted husband of over 55 years, Howard Biel of Decatur; her daughters, Jennifer Potter and husband Mark of McKinney, and Rebecca Stephens and husband David of The Woodlands; her adored grandchildren, William and Andrew Potter, and Claire and Zoe Stephens; her sister, Linda Daniels; her brother, David Daniels and wife Sondra; along with numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members, and a host of dear friends.

Bonnie’s life was a testament to faith, family, and love. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
