Carolyn Jean Bond
Carolyn Jean Bond known by most as Jean was born April 12, 1940, in Cedartown, Ga and raised in Rome, GA.
Her parents were Coriene and Weldon Couch. She also has a brother Ed Couch of Rome, Ga. Jean married her love, Cary Bond, the day after she graduated from the Piedmont School of Nursing with her Registered Nurse degree (RN). She and Cary were married on June 9, 1961. They celebrated their 62nd anniversary on June 9, 2022. They proudly have two children, Staci Bond and Cary Bond, Jr. Additionally, she was very proud of two fantastic grandsons, Cody and Chase Bond. “Granny” as she was fondly called, loved them dearly and knew they hung the moon and the stars. The other important ladies in her life are Shannon Bond and Karen Gudger.
Jean loved family, friends, travel, good food, her plants and working in her yard. She was a certified barbecue judge and a member of the Kansas City Barbecue Society (KCBS) having participated in over 200 events.
Jean spent many years of her life serving others as a nurse in the Atlanta area. She started her nursing career working at the Ponce De Leon Infirmary that was located on Juniper St and Ponce De Leon Ave working with Dr. Roach. She spent several years working in an Ear Nose Throat and Allergy practice with Dr. Hutchinson. She transitioned to management assisting Dr. Morgan and Brice as their office manager/nurse and finished her career as a billing specialist for Rheumatologists Dr. Hartman and Dr. Lieberman. Jean could often be found on the sidelines of the Atlanta Classic Golf Tournament or a movie set providing nursing care. Jean made many personal friends along the way and loved her patients.
The family will be having a private graveside service. The family plans a Celebration of Jean’s Life at a later time.
In lieu of flowers, we would like donations to be made in her honor to any of the following: Emory Winship Cancer Institute; Emory Rollins Intermediate Care (a wonderful urgent care for cancer patients on Emory campus); American Cancer Society; GO2.org (specific to help with lung cancer); or The American Lung Association.
The family greatly appreciates all your love, support, and prayers during all of Jean’s journey!

I never met Jean in person, but I know Shannon, her daughter-in-law, very well. ( Alright, Shannon is my best friend. ) I’ve heard of Jean for years. I know she loves Cody and Chase with all of her heart. And they love her too. That is the legacy that she leaves behind, these 2 grandsons who will change the world.
I have a lost a wry dear member of my family and will miss her terribly. She and Cary and the family have always kept a close relationship with my family, and I so appreciate that . Edgar and I send our love and prayers, and I know we will see her again in heaven. Love you cuz ! !
I knew Mrs Bond for short time, I shared in her life the last few months of her life. Mrs. Bond was a gem, humble, very kind in spirit. I am most grateful that The Lord allowed me to meet this extraordinary person, there was purpose and I will miss you , your caregiver Donna ❤️
Jean Bond was a very loving person!
Never once did she complain.
We shared some happy times together. Kris and I will always cherish Jean and Cary’s visit to our home in the Florida Keys… when Cary taught me how a real man cooks his eggs.
Nothing but pleasant memories.
Jack and Kris
Very sad. Cary and I met the first day of Kindergarten at East Lake Elementary, and I have known Jean since she was in nursing school. She was a wonderful person and will be greatly missed. Prayers for Cary and the family.
