Bondy, Barbara Lynn
It is with heavy hearts to announce the sudden passing of Barbara Lynn Bondy on Saturday, June 17th, 2023 at the age of 60.

Beloved wife and sidekick of 25 years to Sherry Venclik.
Forever missed by her siblings, Judy Serruys (Chris), Mariann Gilbert (Jeff), Lisa Wright (Doug) and Hector Bondy (Christie).

Missed by many great-nieces, great-nephews & extended family.
Barb was a long-time employee with Pioneer Seeds and was know as the "Pioneer Mom", taking others under her guidance. She was active with the Big Brothers Big Sisters and she was always willing to say she would try any craft. Barb loved life. She was energetic, positive and the life of the party. Her kind and gentle spirit will forever be missed by all who knew her.
