Freda Charlene High

Freda Charlene (Honeycutt) High, 91, Billings, passed away March 3, 2026. She was born February 11, 1935, in Lead Hill, AR to Coy Honeycutt and Ethel (Hudson) Honeycutt. In June of 1970, she married Lynn High and together they happily raised their three children. She made a career waitressing in the Republic area. She made many friends working at Ethel's Cafe (her mother's restaurant) and also at Browns Country Kitchen. Her loving and caring personality of serving others came through not only at work but at home. She had the biggest heart and always made sure everyone was taken care of. We will miss the "Are you OK?" "What can I do?" and "Do you need anything?". She enjoyed spending time with family, gardening/canning, embroidery, reading and going on car rides.

She is survived by her children; daughter, Vicky Hagler, Republic; two sons, Stanley Sekscinski, Terry Sekscinski and wife Cathy all of Billings; 7 grandchildren; 18 great-grandchildren; 3 great-great-grandchildren; and numerous other relatives and friends.

She was preceded in death by her loving husband Lynn of 55 years; parents; two brothers, Russell Honeycutt and William Honeycutt; two sisters, Dixie Seitz and Cathy Jo Honeycutt; grandson and granddaughter, Jake and Kristi Sekscinski; grandson Derek Willbanks; son-in-law, Bruce Hagler; daughter-in-law, Margaret Sekscinski.

The family would like to thank the staff at Phoenix Hospice Care and Mt. Vernon Place Care Center for their professional and personal care of our precious mom.
