Mindy Hope Everett

Mindy Hope Woodfin Everett, age 66, of Hughes Springs, Texas, passed away on June 12, 2025, with loved ones by her side.
Born on May 9, 1959, in Marshall, Texas, to Kenneth Wayne and Emma Hope Woodfin, Mindy embodied the heart of a caretaker. Whether she was doting on babies, spoiling her beloved fur babies, or preparing a warm meal for her family, she gave generously and without hesitation. Nothing made her happier than cooking for those she loved, whether in her own kitchen or someone else's. Her pinto beans and cornbread were always a comfort, and her chocolate pie was legendary among family and friends.
Mindy was a free-spirit who found joy in life's simple pleasures. She loved fishing at her favorite spots, tending her garden, and planting flowers that brightened the days of those around her. Her nurturing spirit and unwavering love touched many lives and left lasting impressions on everyone fortunate enough to know her.
She was preceded in death by her father, Kenneth Wayne Woodfin; grandparents, O.C. Hope and Mary Steve Scott Hope, and James Aaron and Pannie Ruth Voss Woodfin; daughter-in-law, Jessica Gray; her special fur baby, Sam; and dear friends, Margaret and Wiley Pippin.
Mindy is survived by her loving husband, Lance Mason; her mother, Emma Woodfin; children, Misty Qualls and husband Tommy, Aaron Woodfin, and Matthew Gray; step-son, William John-Robert Mason; grandchildren, Kyla, Chandler, Elizabeth, Nina, and Madison; and the "sun in her sky", great-granddaughter Evelyn Rose. She is also survived by her brothers, Mike Woodfin and wife Charlotte, and Mark Woodfin and wife Kim; sister, Marty Parker and husband Charlie; in-laws, PeeWee and Linda Mason. Among those who held a special place in her heart were Justin and Amy Blackwell, she was nanny to their children, Jack and Allison. Mindy also leaves a host of nieces, nephews, extended family members, and lifelong friends will continue to cherish her memory. She treated everyone like family.
