I worked with Margaret in the PR office at the university during the '90s. One of the favorite parts of my job was writing features for the Review because I got to work with her. To this day, the word 'editor' makes me think of her behind that big desk in her office - books and papers piled high, a desk lamp that cast a cozy glow. She made me feel right at home, both in that office and in my career as a writer. Thanks, Margaret!

Margaret was an extraordinary woman who had an amazing life. In her wedding vows, Margaret's mother, Mildred Benedict, crossed out the word “obey”, an act which was a foreshadowing of Margaret's life. Margaret grew up to be an independent and spirited person who loved books, theater, art and travel. Her father was the artist Milton Bond and Margaret was herself a gifted artist. Her quick wit and dry sense of humor gave her the ability to turn any misadventure into a side splitting story. “Well, you know….” will always echo in my memory. She had a wonderful sense of the absurd. In addition to her brothers and their children, she had a wide network of friends and associates who made her life anything but dull. The cousins she grew up with and her in-laws were an extremely important part of her life. Family stories where she saw the humor in everything were endless. She also had a very strong sense of family history. Her Benedict lines on this side of the water go way back to before we were a country. The Benedict family history was a never-ending source of fascination for her. Somehow the past grounded her in the present. She was also pleased to find Bond family ties when she traveled in Europe. We are all incredibly fortunate to have had her as a part of our lives. We are better people for having known her and been influenced by her. And somewhere out there a blue pencil is being sharpened…..

I remember "Bondie" from our days at the Memorial Art Gallery.. She was fun, congenial and represented the Gallery with great professionalism. I am so sorry to read of her passing

I learned much of what I know about copy editing from Margaret, working with her on the Rochester Review for 10 years. She was a real pro, and I am lucky to have had the opportunity to watch her work.
