A Celebration of Life for Helen “Honey” Bozeman of Winona will be held at the Winona Methodist Church on Saturday, October 3, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. with Pastor Dan Vickers officiating. Visitation will begin at 1:00 p.m., prior to the service. Interment will follow at Harris Creek Cemetery.
Helen “Honey” Bozeman celebrated her arrival into Heaven on September 28, 2026, at the age of 90. What a celebration it must have been as she was lovingly greeted by her husband of 61 years, Ross “Big Daddy” Bozeman. Together, they begin their heavenly reunion.
To say Honey left her mark on this world during her 90 years would be an understatement. She loved unconditionally and never met a stranger. Honey’s cooking was legendary and her love of cooking was passed down to her daughters, Cindy and Becky. She also enjoyed a little excitement and always had fun trying her luck at the slot machines. Every conversation with Honey was likely to include a special wink of her eye and a joyful chuckle of laughter. Her influence and the love she shared will continue to impact every life she touched.
Honey grew up in the Cedar Springs Community of Falls County, Texas. After graduating from high school, she moved to Rosebud, Texas and eventually made Winona her home. Honey and Big Daddy managed the H. L. Hunt property in Winona and raised their family there. She and Buddy loved entertaining family and friends and were actively involved in school activities and their church....
