Bonnie Cone Memorial
Bonnie Cone is buried in the Van Landingham Glen on the main campus of UNC Charlotte, across from the Fretwell building. A slab of slate sits on top of her burial place inscribed with the words "Founder of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte." There is also a stone walkway up to her burial place, and stone seating surrounding the memorial for visitation and reflection. This area is in the process of being transformed into a meditation garden in honor of Dr. Cone.

“Wee image of my bonnie Betty,
I fatherly will kiss and daut thee,
As dear an’ near my heart I set thee

As a’ the priests had seen me get thee
That’s out o’ hell.”

“When I received this [coronation] ring I solemnly bound myself in marriage to the realm; and it will be quite sufficient for the memorial of my name and for my glory, if, when I die, an inscription be engraved on a marble tomb, saying, “Here lieth Elizabeth, which reigned a virgin, and died a virgin.””
—Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
