Obituary for Honey E. M. Jones (Honey Dearing)
HONEY E.M. JONES
Honey E. M. Jones, age 51, passed away at Whidbey General Hospital on Monday, Nov. 1, 2010, following a lengthy illness.
Honey was born in Frankfurt, Germany, on Feb. 2, 1959, to John and Maria (Auerswald) Dearing. At the age of three, she moved with her family to Hickman, CA, where she was raised and attended schools, eventually graduating from high school. At age 19, she moved to Modesto, CA, and raised her own family. She then moved to Vancouver, WA in 1983, and then to Anacortes, where she resided for over ten years. Honey was employed by Visiting Nurses Personal Services of Anacortes as a Certified Nursing Aide, performing in-home healthcare. To Honey, this was more than a job; it was her passion. Honey collected tigers, M and Ms and movies (with well over 3000 in her collection). She also loved being with family. She was a member of the Anacortes Eagles.
Honey is survived by her life-partner and soul-mate Steven Lam, of Oak Harbor; four children: Micheal Coonce (Shauna) of Turlock, CA, Matthew Coonce (Crystal), Marcus Coonce and Cathydawn Barker (James), all of Oak Harbor; ten grandchildren: Austin, Phoebe Dawn and Justin Coonce, all of Turlock, CA; William and Timothy Hammond, Jeremy, Alyssa and Sebastien Coonce, Patrick and Stephanie Barker, all of Oak Harbor; one great-grandson, Zechariah Hammond of Oak Harbor; her mother, Maria Russell of Oakdale, CA; four siblings, Sylvia of Oakdale, CA, Saundra and Linda, both of Texas and David Russell of Modesto, CA; also, numerous nieces, nephews and other relatives. Honey was preceded in death by her father, John Dearing (2002), sister Elizabeth (2008), and by two step-fathers, Donald Bennett (2006) and Marvin Russell (2007).
