Obituary

Priscilla S. Bondhus, born on August 20, 1931, in Stoughton, Wis., passed away peacefully surrounded by family on May 8, 2026. She was the cherished daughter of Ansel and Fola Strommen and grew up in Brodhead, Wis., alongside her siblings, Norton, Ronna, Noreen, and Trygve.


Priscilla graduated from Brodhead High School and continued her education at UW-Stout and UW-Madison. On June 16, 1950, she married the love of her life, Wallace Bondhus. Together, they built a beautiful life filled with love and family.


Priscilla is survived by her three children, Rebecca Bondhus Calley, Bradley John Bondhus (Deborah White Bondhus), and Beth Prochaska (Thomas Herrling). She was the proud grandmother of Rebecca Prochaska (Jason Disch), Ben Hudzinski (Shaa Hudzinski), Eric Calley (Shelby Calley), Paul Calley (Gill Spencer), John Bondhus (Stephanie), and Megan Bondhus. Priscilla was blessed with four great-grandchildren who brought her endless joy.


She had a passion for travel and found her greatest happiness in the company of her family and friends. Her warmth, kindness, and adventurous spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew her.


Priscilla is preceded in death by her beloved, husband, Wallace Bondhus; her parents, Ansel and Fola Strommen; and two siblings.


The family will gather for a private celebration of life at a later date when loved ones are able to attend.

Sending sympathy to Priscilla’s family. She was a great advocate for Family & Consumer Sciences (Home Economics) and did much for our state association. I will always remember Priscilla’s dedication to the profession, her colleagues and the professional organization. I will donate to WAFCS in Priscilla’s memory!

My sincerest condolences to the family of Priscilla. She was a treasured FCS colleague of mine for years here in Madison. She talked me into initiating Medical Occupations courses at JMM, and we shared many good times chaperoning Health Occ. Students of America (HOSA) students all over the USA attending National conventions. She will be sorely missed. Sue Simon
