Mary Katheryne Honeycutt, age 83, of Harrison, Arkansas, passed away on Friday, August 21, 2020. She was born on October 29, 1936, in Aromas, California to the late Bill and Gretchen (Shipman) Barnes. She graduated from Marshall High School and went on to graduate from Arkansas State Teachers College with a degree in business. She married Robert Keith Honeycutt on June 1, 1958. Katheryne was preceded in death by her parents; her husband of 61 years, Keith, in March 2020; and her sister, Billie Lee Waters.

For many years Mary Katheryne traveled throughout the United States while Keith worked on numerous dams and radio station projects. When her boys both became of school age she returned to raise them in Harrison while Keith continued to work across the country. She worked numerous jobs such as picking strawberries, ironing clothes, waitressing, and as a switchboard operator. However, her most well-known job was that of Boone County Deputy Circuit Clerk for 39 years. Mary Katheryne was a member of Eagle Heights Baptist Church and a member of the Eastern Star. She enjoyed shopping, eating out, reading, traveling, but her most cherished times were those spent with her family and friends. She loved being an adoring Kee Kee to her grandchildren.
