She grew up in the North Hill area graduating Summa Cum Laude in 1938 from North High School. After high school she was one of the finalist in the Miss North Akron swimsuit competition.

Honey, we will remember you when we think of family, merry-go-rounds, avid readers, great cooks, green thumbs, artists, humorous people, hard workers, marching bands, voting booths, music (Elvis and Sinatra), dancing, popcorn, Jack LaLane, and especially The Cleveland Browns. Honey we love you dearly and your presence will be greatly missed. Sleep peacefully...until we meet again... A celebration of Honey's life will take place Thursday at 2 p.m. at the Anthony Funeral Home MCGOWAN-REID & SANTOS CHAPEL (at 3rd Street, one block north of Portage Trail in the Falls), where the family will receive friends from 1 p.m. until time of the service.
