Linda (Roberson) Bond
Linda Bond, 77, of Waco, passed away peacefully in Cedar Park, on Tuesday, April 19, 2022, with her daughter by her side.
Graveside services were held at 10:30 a.m. Monday, April 25, 2022, at Waco Memorial Park. Visitation was held on Sunday, April 24, 2022, at Oakcrest Funeral Home in Waco.
Linda was born on Dec. 6, 1944, in Plainview, to Calvin and Willie Jane (Moore) Roberson. Linda graduated from Lott High School in 1962 where she was a cheerleader. In the 80’s she worked as a merchandiser for M&M Mars. In 1985 she worked for the Baylor Bookstore and her last employment was as Head Deputy District Clerk for the McLennan County Child Support Office where she retired on 10/31/2005.
Linda’s main priority was being a mom; devoted to raising her two children, Stephen and Tammy. Raising a son with special needs was a challenge she took on with a vengeance. She fought the school district over the years to ensure her son and other special needs children received the educational resources they needed and deserved. She was a mighty warrior. If she was not at Stephen’s school, you could often find her at Tammy’s school being a room mother at the elementary school and then being a Band Parent at the high school. She was known to many students as “Momma Bond” and she wore the title with such joy and pride. Linda was a fighter and protector of those she loved.
Linda was preceded in death by her son, Stephen Bond; her parents, Mr. and Ms. Calvin Roberson; and her siblings; and the father of her children, Larry Bond.
She is survived by her daughter, Tammy Bond; nieces and nephews and other extended relatives and special friends.
The family extends thanks to staff at memory care facilities The Enclave and Cedar Park and most recently Poet’s Walk at Cedar Park and Encompass Home Health and Hospice. You showed care and compassion as Linda’s Alzheimer’s progressed over the past couple of years. Your dedication and kindness have been immeasurable.
