A Celebration of Life for Helen “Honey” Bozeman of Winona will be held at the Winona Methodist Church on Saturday, October 3, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. with Pastor Dan Vickers officiating. Visitation will begin at 1:00 p.m., prior to the service. Interment will follow at Harris Creek Cemetery.
Helen “Honey” Bozeman celebrated her arrival into Heaven on September 28, 2026, at the age of 90. What a celebration it must have been as she was lovingly greeted by her husband of 61 years, Ross “Big Daddy” Bozeman. Together, they begin their heavenly reunion.
To say Honey left her mark on this world during her 90 years would be an understatement. She loved unconditionally and never met a stranger. Honey’s cooking was legendary and her love of cooking was passed down to her daughters, Cindy and Becky. She also enjoyed a little excitement and always had fun trying her luck at the slot machines. Every conversation with Honey was likely to include a special wink of her eye and a joyful chuckle of laughter. Her influence and the love she shared will continue to impact every life she touched.
Honey grew up in the Cedar Springs Community of Falls County, Texas. After graduating from high school, she moved to Rosebud, Texas and eventually made Winona her home. Honey and Big Daddy managed the H. L. Hunt property in Winona and raised their family there. She and Buddy loved entertaining family and friends and were actively involved in school activities and their church....

Judy Evon Dugat Parris, longtime educator and lifelong lover of the written word, passed away on September 5, 2026, in Tyler, Texas. She was 81 years old.
Born on Christmas Eve in 1944 in Baytown, Texas, Judy was the daughter of Edmond Dugat and Tessie Burnitt Dugat and the younger sister of Martha Katherine “Kay” Beaubouef. Her childhood was shaped by family, faith, and the quiet determination that would remain with her throughout her life.
Judy’s love of words began early. As a student at Barbers High School in Mont Belvieu,
She worked on the school yearbook, an experience that helped lead to a job at The Baytown Sun while she attended Lee College. She earned an Associate of Arts degree from Lee College before continuing her education at Sam Houston State University, where she graduated in 1967 with a Bachelor of Science in Education, majoring in journalism and minoring in English.
That same year, on June 10, 1967, Judy married James Drew Parris in Baytown. Their marriage would span 59 years, and a lifetime built around the things Judy valued most: family, home, faith, and the familiar traditions of everyday life. They enjoyed dinners out, visits with family, and trips to places such as Colorado Springs, Branson Missouri, and the Smoky Mountains.
Judy began her teaching career in San Antonio, teaching English to junior high students and journalism to high school students. After the birth of her first daughter, Laurie, she stepped...
