Mary Patricia Bond

She was raised on Mitchell drive and attended Mission school where she made lifelong friends whom she cherished. Growing up in SLO and during WWII, she often worked along with her classmates delivering mail to the Army camp and in town.

She was married at the Old Mission in 1949, to Jerry C. Bond, who preceded her in death in 2001. Together they had four children, Peg Luebbers of Washington, Cathy Clarkson and husband Jim of SLO, Theresa Bond of Ohio, and James Bond and wife Cindy of Atascadero. Pat is survived by her only sibling, Maureen Luebbers of Templeton, and all four of her children, along with multiple grandchildren, great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren.

For many years Pat typed the church bulletins for both the Mission and Nativity parishes. Upon moving to Atascadero in the early 1980’s, she became a fixture around St. Williams parish with maintenance day and decorating the church, until her health started declining in 2006. When her children were young, she participated as a parent in 4-H, Campfire Girls, and Boy Scouts. She also enjoyed camping and boating with her family. She made great deserts and enjoyed playing with her grandkids/great grandkids. Pat also enjoyed books, pictures of Ireland, and sharing family pictures, old and new.

Unfortunately, due to COVID, we cannot honor her wishes with a full mass funeral at this time. We will have a memorial at a later date when it is safe to do so. The family would appreciate donations to a charity of your choice and to remember her at mass.
