Carolyn Honeycutt Obituary

Beloved Mother, Ganny, and Nannie passed away Sunday, September 19, 2010. She went to the beautiful gardens of heaven where she can now rest peacefully. She was very brave, fighting cancer for the past 1 1/2 years. Her grandson, Frederick William Parker "Bubba" and great grandson Dustin Randall Hoffman were already waiting for her in heaven. She is survived by her four daughters: Robin Rhoton and husband Eddie of Jacksonville, NC; June Hamilton and husband Kevin of Texarkana, AR; Ann Tussey and husband Dennis of Santa Rosa, CA and Joann Hunt and husband James of Hope, AR. She is also survived by eight grandchildren: Lisa, Timothy, Kristi, Paul, Summer, Megan, Jessica, and Brandon; and four great-grandchildren: Tara, Rebecca, Madison, and Austin. Mama loved to go pier fishing in North Carolina with her "fishing buddy" Eddie. Actually, she liked to fish just about anywhere as long as there were no snakes. In addition, she just loved working outside in her rose and vegetable gardens. She also loved helping Dennis in the vineyard. She loved to laugh and make you smile. She loved animals...all animals. She was just a very special lady in so many ways, but what she loved most were "her girls", as she referred to them and her family. If you knew her, I'm sure she touched your heart in some way. To quote one of her dear friends, "you take a lot of love with you but you leave a lot of love behind." So, precious Mama, we will forever hold you in our hearts and miss you very much. In lieu of flowers, please dedicate a donation to the American Cancer Society or Memorial Hospice of Santa Rosa, California in her name.
