Lucille A. "Lucy" Bond

Lucille A. “Lucy” Bond (neé Landerman), 96, born in Fond du Lac on January 17, 1927, the only daughter of Izetta and Clayton Culver passed away peacefully on Tuesday, June 13, 2023, at Hospice Home of Hope. She graduated from LP Goodrich High School in 1944 and was married to Lawrence “Nibs” Bond on March 4, 1945, at St. Patrick’s Church in Fond du Lac. He preceded her in death on April 17, 1991.

Lucille and her family spent many summers at their cottage on Linden Beach with her father Clayton and summers at Evergreen Campground. In the winter months, Lucille and Lawrence spent time at the Alpin Bowling Alley helping to clean and having fun with friends. She was a huge Brewers fan and loved watching them and the Packers play, and she would get in the local neighborhood Packer pools. If Lucy wasn’t watching sports, she would watch the Game Show channel. We believe this is what kept Lucy as sharp as a whip!

Lucille was a member of NAIMA group (a support group for both widows and widowers), Linette’s Dancers (she danced well into her eighties), a charter member of TPU (Taylor Park University), Eagles Aerie Group #270, and Holy Family Parish.

Survivors include two sons, Richard (Meiling) Bond of Foster City, Calif., and Mark (Peggy) Bond of Friendship, Wis.; son-in-law, Michael Hefter; four grandchildren, Jeffery (Margaret) Hefter of Fond du Lac, Rebecca Carmona of Oshkosh, Wis., Joseph (Susan) Hefter of Grafton, Wis.; and Michelle Hefter (Aaron Michels); and six great-grandchildren, Jennica Hefter (fiancé Adrian Gonzalez), Dayne Hefter, Leo Carmona, Fenn Carmona, Ayla Michels, and Holland Michels. She is further survived by a sister-in-law, Marilyn Bond, and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents and husband; a daughter, Patricia Hefter; brother, Donald “Chewy” (Dorothy) Landerman; eight brothers-in-law, Allan, Earl, Donald, Harold, Howard, John, Hiram II, and Russell Bond; six sisters-in-law, Dorothy Michaels, Cleora Aspatore, Elaine Bond, June Bond, Virginia Bond, and Verda Bond; and a grandson, Jason Bond.

In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to Friends of Taylor Park in honor of Lucy and Nibs being charter members of the TPU (Taylor Park University) and to help preserve the history of Taylor Park.
