Julia "Judy" Ann Bond Obituary (1946

Julia Ann (Judy) Bond, nee Hamlin was born July 4, 1946 in Grants Pass, Oregon to John and Eleanor (Martin) Hamlin. Growing up as the youngest of nine siblings in rural Oregon she liked to tell stories of life without electricity and running water, of literally walking to school in the snow, uphill, both ways. Judy's mom died when she was 17 and shortly after graduating from Grants Pass high school in 1965 she left for the adventure of her life: traveling in and around Portland's west side, raising her eldest children through the late 60's and 70's as a single mother before finally settling in Hillsboro Oregon with her husband of 25 years, Glen Bond. It was here they built a community of friends through their participation on the billiards team, cribbage game nights, Banks football and wrestling meets, and a large extended family. Judy and Glen moved to Forest Grove in the late 90's to raise a daughter together, focusing on her education and becoming heavily involved in the Forest Grove soft ball league. They moved back to Hillsboro where Judy cared for Glen through late stage prostate cancer until his death in 2011. Judy passed away on June 13, 2018. She will be remembered for her warm generosity and fiery spirit. She was known for having a sharp humor and no one was safe from her wit, not even herself. Judy enjoyed spending time with her family and after raising 5 children often said being a grandmother was the best. Her favorite places were trips to the beach and time outside in the yard she so lovingly designed and maintained. Judy demonstrated her care for the greater community on a regular basis and at Christmas always organize a joint effort with her family to donate to her chosen cause. In recent years, Judy was active on social media where she was able to maintain relationships with friends and her many nieces and nephews spread across the country. She loved you all. She is preceded in death by her husband, Glen, her parents and her siblings. She is survived by her five children and her nephew, whom she considered a son; John Chaney of Portland, Bobby Chaney of Madras, Bethany Schaffner and her spouse Scott Oldham both of Hillsboro, Janelle Schaffner and her spouse; Garrett Chamberlin both of Hillsboro, Crystal and Brian Kemper of Forest Grove, nephew; Kerry Bounds of Hillsboro, four grandchildren; Veronica, Kevin, Zoey and Kaya and many nieces and nephews.
