Betty "Honey Gal" Ready

Betty Randell Ready ~ aka Honeygal Ready
March 19, 1936 ~ ~ Dec. 21, 2019

Betty Randell Ready made her debut in Vivian, La. at the home of her parents, Viva Yawn & Randell Ready at a starting weight of 2 & 1/4 pounds, the small size never hampered her at all. When first seen by her grandmother Daisy Yawn, she said, "Now isn't that a Honey of a Gal, thus forever after known as 'Honeygal' Ready.
It has been said of her that she was Authentically " One of A Kind" & led a well lived life on her own terms. She was a mix of a 'Firefly & A Shooting Star' all in one. Life was an exciting adventure. Graduating from Carthage ISD, class of 1953, then on to TSCW aka TWU in Denton, Tx. in 1957, with a degree in 'Metal work & Jewelry' she then became a "Poet in Gold" & practiced that trade until she retired in 2012. She added sparkle & delight everywhere she lived, & that included, East Texas, Pittsburgh, Pa, Martha's Vineyard, & even New York City, then back to Kilgore, Texas. She departed this life at her home on a Sunny Saturday morning Dec. 21, 2019. Now on her next life in the Presence of God. She surely taught us all " The Joy of Living"
Those left to treasure her delightful memories are sister, Patty R. Clark ~ Kilgore, brother / cousin, Pat B. Browning, Carthage, Tx. Nephews, Joe David Clark & Patrick Clark ~ Kilgore, Tx. as well as a host of cousins, nieces & nephews, & friends
