Faye Bond Obituary
Faye and her husband Bill joined First United Methodist Church in Royal Oak (ROFUM) where they spent many happy years as members, singing in the choir and as camp counselors. They created many happy memories with their four children as they traveled each summer in a pop-up trailer. After retirement Faye traveled the country with her husband in an RV. She spent her later years in Holly, Michigan where she loved watching sparrows, chickadees and cardinals flit by their windows.
Faye is preceded in death by father Albert Kochheiser, mother Marion Kochheiser, sister Betty Lambert and brother Ralph Kochheiser. She is survived by her husband Bill Bond, children Mark Bond (Joany), Michael Bond, Suzan Bond (Lar) and Sara DeBlaze (Scott), grandsons Connor Bond and Jack Bond, and granddaughters Sophia DeBlaze and Francesca DeBlaze. Known as a second mom to many, her kind, loving and gentle spirit will live on forever with the many people she touched throughout her life.
A memorial service will be held on December 16, 2023 at 11am at Royal Oak First United Methodist Church 320 West Seventh St., Royal Oak, MI 48067.

Faye was my favorite mother-in-law and she will be greatly missed! We spent many holidays, coffee talks, Sunday afternoons and camping adventures together. Faye had a real knack for adding creative touches to everything she did and she knew how to make people feel special.
Miss you Faye!

Faye was a great co-worker and volunteer. A fun memory I have of Faye is that the she loved being barefoot, perhaps it was those Iowa farm girl roots. I remember when Dr. Ray Lamb, our former pastor and boss, would find Faye´s shoes around the office and hide them on her. Faye knew instantly when she couldn´t find her shoes that Dr. lamb had got her again. With that ever present smile on her face she´d start the hunt for her shoes, finding them in some strange places ... hanging from the lights, on a book shelf, in a file cabinet to name a few. Much love and prayers for the Bond Family, Faye will be missed.

Heartfelt sympathy to all who loved Faye. I will always remember the twinkle in her eyes, the love she had for her family and church community and her kindness.
