Stephanie Ann Bond-Quarton, 68, passed away on December 18, 2025, after being diagnosed with late stage lung cancer two weeks earlier. She was surrounded by her family. Her husband of 40 years, Jay, was holding her hand.
Stephanie Ann was the first daughter of 4, later to be known as "the Bond Girls", was born in San Francisco, California, to Theresa Novia and William Bond, and was raised in central Phoenix. She attended Xavier and West High Schools and was a member of the National Junior Honor Society.
The oldest of the Bond Girls, and as the daughter of a single working mother, Stephanie was unapologetically the bossy one. She took on significant responsibility at a young age—and excelled at it. She protected her siblings like a mother bear. That maternal instinct extended to her many friends who always valued her advice and instinct. If she was your friend, you were blessed.
She spent much of her career in retail management and as a business owner while she and Jay raised their two children, Maria and Brice. Stephanie retired two years ago.
A lifelong learner who loved reading she didn't suffer fools who failed to do their homework.
She was deeply generous, known for saving both people and animals who needed a soft place to land. She and her husband Jay never met a stranger.
Stephanie was passionate about equality, social justice, and helping people and animals. She believed strongly in leaving things better than she found them. It's easy to imagine her now, already organizing heaven—assigning tasks, and putting together lists for the angels to make the world a better place.
She is survived by her husband and best friend Jay; her daughter Maria; her son Brice, who made her laugh every day; her beloved granddaughter Emery, whom she adored; her three sisters, Lori Workinger (James), Dianna Cunningham (William, deceased), and Pamela Barnes; and her cherished nephew Adam Dreyer, whom she thought the world of. She also leaves behind three sisters-in-law, Cheryl (George), Chris (John) and Laura, whom she considered her own and many friends whom she felt were her family and will miss her deeply.
The remaining Bond Girls will try to be strong and live up to her example. Stephanie promised she would save a seat in heaven for all those she loved.
Private services will be held in the spring.
