It is with great sadness that the family of Susan Bond announces her passing on June 11, 2025, at the age of 72.

Susan will be lovingly remembered by her daughters Amber Dankwardt, Kellie (Ted) Simmons, and Courtney (Stefan) Hermann-De Smit; her grandchildren Savanah, Chase, Ophelia, and Gabriel, who brought joy and purpose to her later years; and as a loving sister to Nancy Hickinbottom, Linda (Peter) Dux, and David Bond.

Throughout her life, Susan was known for her resilience, independence, and fierce determination. She faced life’s challenges with grace and steadfast resolve. She embodied integrity, inspiring those around her through her unwavering character.

She will be remembered not only for her honesty and fortitude but for the enduring love she gave to those around her. Her legacy lives on through her children and grandchildren, who will carry forward the lessons and values she instilled.

A private service will be held by the family. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Susan’s memory to the Daily Bread Food Bank.

“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil,
for you are with me.”
— Psalm 23:4
