Betty Honeycutt of Concord died peacefully the afternoon of October 3rd at St. Andrews Living Center where she had been cared for tenderly by that loving staff for the last year. Her daughter was by her side at the time of her death.
Betty, who may be best known as the co-founder of Team Honeycutt and Matriarch will be deeply missed by many professionally. This was the first real estate team in Cabarrus County. Spanning a career of over 55 years that started in Cheraw, where they moved when her husband, Ed, got his contractor’s license and she sold the homes he built. Betty and Ed had two children Diane and Eddie. After Ed died in 1970, Betty moved to the Concord area to be near her parents, Gwyn & Joe Helms. In 1978 she became a licensed Realtor in North Carolina and that’s when the magic started.
As a Realtor, she mentored anyone who asked.
Known also for her philanthropic spirit she leaves behind many who will miss her for her lifetime of giving and sharing and that big heart, her listening ear and her beautiful outlook on life. Combined with her love for her community, you could always count on Betty to go above and beyond what anyone ever imagined. She was a giving, caring and selfless soul.
Betty’s love for life, her family and her friends gave her joy that personified how she lived her life. Always ready for a road trip with friends, a trip to Shatley Springs, a shopping trip, a meal of celebration, a card game or a trip to the beach, no one could make you feel any more special than Betty Honeycutt. Betty’s warmth and genuine love for people was present this last year at St. Andrews where she treated all who helped her as family too.
She was preceded in death by her husband Edwin Boyd Honeycutt, Sr. and her parents Gwyn and Joe Helms.
Betty is survived by her son, Edwin Boyd Honeycutt (Kay) of Irmo, SC; daughters, Diane Ree Honeycutt and Jeanne Rae Hodges and Grand Dog Tate, of the home; grandchildren, Blake Edwin Honeycutt (Sarah) and Jennifer Boyd Honeycutt Newman (Graham); great grandchildren, Stetson Boyd Honeycutt and Sutherland Dean Honeycutt, and JW Newman. Sister in law, Linda Honeycutt Penninger (William); nieces Valerie P. Houser (Melvin) and Victoria P. Whittington (Kenny) and nephew Billy Penninger (Angie), along with many other nieces and nephews.
The family would like to express gratitude to the staff of St Andrews Living Center for the love and care given to Betty while she was a resident.
