Janice J. Bonds
June 24, 1937 – December 8, 2023
Janice Bonds, the eldest of 13 Children set an example that all of them could look up to. After college and a brief teaching career, she met Donald Bonds, who she would spend the next 62 years with as a devoted wife and full-time homemaker. She made a happy life for her children and granddaughters, even with the challenges that she had after getting the diagnosis of diabetes. She fought the best fight following all the directions of her doctors which sustained her for many years.
At the end, she was ready to leave her suffering behind and requested to not have any funeral/formal memorial service.
