Feb 17, 2022
Memorial services for longtime Alaska resident Kathy Honeysett will be held at 2 p.m. on Friday, March 4, 2022, at Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church, 2901 Huffman Road in Anchorage, Alaska. A celebration of her life will be held immediately following the service at Admiral’s Place, 9350 Independence Drive in Anchorage.
Kathy was born on March 4, 1956, in Seattle, Wash., to James and Mary Bookey. She left Seattle when her family moved to Alaska in 1961, and grew up on the Kenai Peninsula. Kathy move to Anchorage in 1990, where she spent the remainder of her time.
She was a very motivated, goal-oriented woman that found success through years of hard work and determination. She retired from Staples as their executive vice president of commercial sales. Then served as treasurer on the board of directors at Angelus Cemetery for several years. During her retirement she worked side by side with her father James C. Bookey at his restaurant, Wee B’s on O’Malley. In 2017, after Jim’s death Kathy became the owner-operator, continuing her father’s legacy.
Her favorite pastimes were gardening, raising chickens, relaxing with her pets, enjoying friends, spending time with her son and grandson and working at the family restaurant.
On Thursday, Feb. 17, 2022, Kathy lost her battle to cancer at Providence Hospital. She was preceded in death by Ernie Daniels, her husband of 29 years. She is survived by her son, Robert Honeysett Jr.; grandson, Robert Honeysett III of Wasilla, Alaska; and brothers, Jim, Shannon and Kelly Bookey of Kenai and Pat Bookey of North Pole, Alaska. Kathy will be interred next to her husband Ernie Daniels and parents Mary and Jim Bookey at Angelus Memorial Park and Cemetery in Anchorage.
