Beatrice Honey

Beatrice W. (Bea) Honey, of Terrell, had her birthday into Heaven on Christmas Day when she passed away peacefully on Dec. 25, 2016 surrounded by her loving family. She was born December 3, 1932 in Oakfield, New York to Richard James and Isabell Mary (French) Wright, both of whom preceded her in death along with her brother, Robert Wright. Bea grew up in a loving and devoted family and these qualities were very evident in her life with her own family. She met, fell in love with Randolph Honey and they married on May 29, 1954, and spent 62 years building a life and legacy together that still inspires their family to this day. A cherished wife and mother, she was the first person that her husband and their three children could count on to be a foundation of kindness and wisdom. Her actions and her ability in serving others by exemplifying the light of Christ to each life she touched continues in subsequent generations with her children and grandchildren living as Godly servants as well in their own communities, both near and far. Bea worked for over 25 years for Oakley Oil and Tire as a loyal accountant and bookkeeper with an incomparable work ethic. She and her husband, Randolph, were charter members of Colquitt Road Church of Christ and she remained active until her health began to decline. The psalmist wrote words in Proverbs 31 that Bea took to heart in her life serving Him as well as others and she truly embodied a virtuous woman. Bea leaves to cherish her memory her beloved husband, Randolph Honey, of Terrell; sons: Keith Honey and wife Robin, of Kasane, Botswana and Brian Honey and wife, Kim, of Terrell; daughter, Gloria Honey of Terrell; grandchildren: Jeremiah Honey and wife, Chrissy, of Athens, Amanda Guzman and husband Carlos of Terrell, Keifer Honey and wife, Lisa, of Terrell, Cassie Honey of College Station, Elise Sutcliffe and husband, Rob, of Kasane, Botswana and Melinda Evans and husband, Chad, of Mesquite, Megan, Josiah and Landon Baldwin, all of Terrell; great grandchildren: Adamari and Leilani Guzman, both of Terrell, Ruth and Jesse Honey, both of Terrell and Ethan Sutcliffe of Kasane, Botswana as well as extended family, her church family and a host of friends who will miss her dearly. Funeral service will be at 11:00am, Thursday, Dec. 29, 2016 at Max Slayton Funeral Chapel with interment to follow at College Mound Cemetery. The family will receive friends 6-8pm, Wednesday, Dec. 28, 2016 at the funeral home.
