Amy L. S. Bond, a longtime resident of Essex, VT has died at age 98 on July 1, 2021 after a two year stay at The Lebanon Center Genesis in Lebanon, NH. Amy was employed at the University of Vermont for many years as an Administrative Assistant in the Zoology and Botany Departments. She was active in the Green Mountain Audubon Society, and the League of Women Voters where her goal was to come up with an improved education tax formula. (She was a math major at Bucknell University.) She served on the South Burlington School Board for 13 years back at the time when the high school was built. Her hobbies included addictive gardening, expert sewing and re-upholstery, and puzzle solving.

Those who knew her will recall her independence, her generosity with her opinions and also with her time and material stuff. She held the truth to be immovable, and she herself was immovable on many things. To spend the end of her days in a nursing home especially through the pandemic might have been her greatest challenge, though she weathered it for two years, as did her caretakers. A fall and a splintered femur put her there as well as cognitive decline. Fortunately, family was able to visit the last several weeks of her life and she passed away peacefully.

She is survived by her children and their spouses, Betsy and Bill Howland of West Windsor and Chuck and Judy Bond of Underhill, her grandchildren Charles Howland and Emily Proell, and her great-grandchildren Max Proell and Nora Proell. She was pre-deceased by her husband Charles F. Bond in 1967 and by her sister Anne Stevenson and brother William Stevenson.

A private burial in New Jersey will take place at a later date.
