BOND Lillian May (Outerbridge) Died peacefully on 10th January aged 94 at home surrounded by family. Wife of the late Phillip Bond, Mother to 5, Grandmother to 12 and Great Grandmother to 3. Lily epitomized grit and determination. Her father died when she was 4 and her mother raised the family on her own. She left school at 14 and worked settling children from bombed out East London. At 15 she joined the war effort at Hoffman's ball bearing factory. Lily met Phil at a work dance in Chelmsford. Lily loved children and believed in the power of education. At 41 she took her O-levels then with a baby in hand she went to teacher training college. She was a reception teacher at Mayland and Althorne County Primary from 1970 till 1987. In retirement she volunteered at Woodham Walter Primary listening to the children read and they loved her. Lily was a remarkable woman and our strength. A memorial service will be held later this summer. We give thanks for a life lovingly spent. Enquiries j.e.bond@hotmail.com
