Barbara A.

Bond

Barbara "Barb" Bond, 84 years old of Harrison, OH passed away peacefully on Saturday, June 25, 2022. Barb grew up in Cincinnati, graduated from Seton High School and met her soon-to-be husband, James, in Cincinnati. When they started a family, Barb took on the role of a stay-at-home mom and was a dedicated mother of five. She enjoyed cooking, reading, and sewing. Once the kids were in school, Barb worked at P&G for 17 years as a telecommunications operator. The Bond family lived in several places between Cincinnati and Indiana, including Bright and Yorkville. Family was everything to Barb. She enjoyed family gatherings, especially the Thanksgiving holiday. For over 40 years, Barb hosted Thanksgiving dinner for many friends and family. Barb played cards, puzzles and word games and was known to win most of the time.  In fact, Barb loved word puzzles so much, she often created her own. She loved living in the country and enjoyed the flowers around her home. Barb and James shared a love of dogs, often having 3 or 4 at a time.  "A home isn't a home without dogs" was a motto that seemed to fit them well.

Barb will be deeply missed by James, her husband of 66 years; children Robin (Bob) Reckers of Loveland, Mike Bond of Cheviot, Jeff (Joy) Bond of Bright, Jenny (Norm) Miller of Yorkville, and Jan (Morris) Southern of Savannah, GA; grandchildren Jeff (Erin) Bond, James (Kristi) Bond, Jonathan Reckers, Sarah (AJ) Lockwood, Jessica (Shaun) Werning, Hillary (Drew) Ladig, Adam Eckstein; great grandchildren Ryan, Sam, Ben, & Claire Bond, Alex & Shelby Bond, Joey & Maren Lockwood, Ava & Oliver Werning, Mason & Everly Ladig.
