Linda Lee Summers Bond (Wood)

1942-2021

Linda Lee Summers Bond (Wood)
A firecracker woman with a tender heart, whose personality was larger than life itself. Linda fought the good fight and passed into glory early Monday morning, leaving behind a family who loved her endlessly. Her warrior spirit will forever be an inspiration to many.

Born to the late Paul & Ada Wood, Linda grew up in Gold River, Nova Scotia. Linda was always on the move from an early age and she was lovingly referred to as the girl with “ants in her pants”. She was incredibly outspoken, full of spunk and always ready with a witty comeback.

Linda had a passion for gardening, which birthed in her a tremendous talent and ability to create and maintain some of the most picturesque of displays. She loved playing cards and no one has played more hands of 45’s than her. If you know the game, you will appreciate the fact that she could go 30 for 60 without the 5– and sometimes even without the jack! Her family fondly refers to this as “advanced play”.

There are few people you meet in life as original as Linda. She was truly one of a kind. Lynn, Mom, Nan, Nanny Bond, Nanny … she wore many hats. Linda also tamed and took care of a wild seagull, who she adoringly referred to as Buddy. For years, she would faithfully gather the scraps of her home cooked meals so that her beloved Buddy and his wife, Mrs. Buddy, were WELL fed. If you watch the seagulls flying around Indian Point, it’s not hard to tell which ones belonged to Linda.

Survived by her loving husband, Michael Bond; her beloved daughter, Cindy (Martin) Hodges; grandchildren, Kris and Katie Hodges; and great-grandchildren, Jaxson, Evelyn and Alyson Hodges.

A private family service will be held on Saturday, November 20th at the Western Shore Baptist Church, with interment to follow.
