I just stumbled across Mrs Bondurant’s obituary tonight. She was my very first supervisor. I worked at the American Red Cross office as a junior in high school through JTPA program. She was very influential and I remember her well. I’ve thought of her often through the years. Condolences to her daughter and grandchildren.
I’m sorry to hear about Mary. She was a beautiful friend that loved life and her family. She is going to be missed by all. Another angel to watch over her loved ones and have no more pain and suffering. You lived a beautiful life Mary💔
