Bonnie was born on January 19, 1954 in Abbeville, LA to Shelton and Audrey Richard Picard. Bonnie was a lifelong resident of Vermilion Parish and a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. Bonnie met the love of her life in middle school and from that moment, they never wanted to be without the other.  Her job as a homemaker was one she didn’t take lightly.  She was a very talented seamstress and was always involved in some creative project including cake decorating, rosary making, sewing and baking.  Her faith was very important to her and called her to serve many years as a religion teacher to our youth.

She is survived by her daughters, Mandi Bergeron Methvin; and her husband Ian, of Maurice; Christi Bergeron Beraud and her husband Barrett of Maurice; and her son John Karl Bergeron; of New Orleans. Grandchildren; Taylor and Peyton Methvin, Ayden and Evan Beraud, and Gracie and Sophie Bergeron. Two sisters Yvonne Picard Broussard and her husband Ben Broussard and Phyllis Picard LeGros and her husband Robert LeGros.

She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 44 years John Clay Bergeron, her parents, Shelton and Audrey Richard Picard and her infant sister Sharon Picard.

Bonnie’s family would like to thank her amazing caregivers, Connie Johnson, Charlene Corbello and Cindy Monceaux, as well as Hospice of Acadiana and the staff at Camelot of Broussard. The family would like to extend a special thanks to her friend, Jackie Hebert who continued to visit and support her during her decline and also to her son-in-law Ian Methvin for his years of dedicated service.
