She is preceded in death by Louis Friestedt (Father), Helen Ubl (Mother), Dick Gunderson (Husband), and Jerry Gustafson (Husband). She was proud of her Irish heritage. Her greatest joys were  spending time with her family, friends and her dogs. She had a wonderful sense of humor and loved helping people. Honey spent a good part of her early career waitressing for the Lost Spur Country Club and later years working as a Sales Representative in the Trucking Industry.

The family would like to thank the caregivers at Lilydale Senior Living Facility as well as Health Partners Hospice for their love, compassion, and dedication.
