Honey Campos

April 25, 1936 ~ April 4, 2024

Honey passed away at home on the morning of April 4, 2024. She was born to Beula Boyle and Arden Hunt on April 25, 1936 in Salt Lake City. She graduated from South High School and attended the University of Utah and Westminster College. On August 16, 1955, she married her high school sweetheart, Eddie Campos, at St. Patrick Catholic Church. They have three sons and one daughter: Cub, Edward P., Aleko and Maria.

Honey was a musically gifted woman who could play the accordion, piano and organ. She was most accomplished as a pianist and organist, and played at Masses at Our Lady of Lourdes, Sacred Heart and St. Joseph’s Villa churches for many years. She volunteered countless hours helping the Carmelite nuns with transportation to doctors’ appointments and by making peanut brittle for them to sell at the Carmelite Fair every year. She was always willing to help a friend or family member in need. Honey helped care for her grandkids, great-grandkids, nieces and nephews when they were young, and they became successful people because of her love and good influence. Her home was a welcoming, fun place for the kids, especially since Honey was a little bit of a child at heart.

Honey was intelligent, calm, open minded, yet stubborn, generous, spiritual, kind, sincere, opinionated and unpretentious. She loved sweets, car rides, and had beautiful handwriting. She was a selfless homemaker to her husband and children and loved cooking for and taking care of them. She always had time to beautifully iron her family’s clothes, stay up late to help them type school papers, and wait up if someone was out late at night. She couldn’t sleep until everyone was home safely. She had a great love for all of her family. 

Honey was preceded in death by her parents and her sister Arden Lou “Louli” Hunt Lund (Allan). She leaves behind her husband Eddie; her sons Cub (Jan), Edward P. (Janet) and Aleko (Alexi); her daughter Maria; her grandchildren Kelly, Emi (Jess), Dard, Katy, Vincent and Genevieve; her great-grandchildren Elle (Jake), Evve, Liam and Leif, and many nieces and nephews. 

A casual gathering was held on Friday, April 12 at Starks Funeral Parlor, Salt Lake City.
