Jean was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and moved to Houston, Texas as a child and graduated from Reagan High School and played in the school marching band as a Redcoat. She was married in 1946, to Raymond Bond, and they settled in Houston where they raised 4 children. Then in 1971, they relocated to San Antonio, Texas. While residing in San Antonio, Jean worked as an assistant at a school for the handicapped, and was secretary for the counselors at John Marshall H.S. In 1975, Jean and Raymond moved to Conroe, Texas. Jean enjoyed bowling and dancing. She also loved working at the Towne Shoppe in Conroe until the store closed in July of 1999. She relished the time spent with the patrons of the store and her co-workers. Shortly thereafter, she retired. Her kind and caring personality lent itself to many conversations with strangers, who quickly became great friends. However, being a mother and grandmother was the job she loved most.
Jean was preceded in death by her mother and father Victor and Emma Fedor, and her husband Raymond Bond. She is survived by her children and families: Sons Victor Bond and wife Laury of Houston, Texas, Steve Bond and wife Patty of Austin, Texas, Gary Bond and wife Lynda of Willis, Texas and daughter Jeannie Ramsey Bond of Conroe, Texas.
