Chelci Anna Hone Obituary (1989 - 2016)

Our beloved daughter, Chelci Anna Hone, passed away on March 11th, 2016. A courageous battle with mental health ended in tragic suicide, but not before giving the disease a commendably hard fight for more than a decade. We are so proud of her for the duration and commitment she provided before finally succumbing. Words cannot express our loss and the hole she leaves behind. She was a bright beacon to all those who knew her and an incredible part of our family and our lives. She will be missed, but never forgotten. Chelci was born on April 16th, 1989 in Provo, Utah to Everett Wade Hone and Kirsten Wynn Ray, a couple who eventually grew into two sets of parents who were very blessed with her love—Everett Wade Hone and Julie Lynn Williams of West Jordan, Utah, and Stephen A. Fullmer and Kirsten Wynn Ray of Fairmont, West Virginia. Chelci's love for space emerged at an early age, attending space camps for teens at the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center. She was a proud member of the Junior ROTC program at Robinson High School in Tampa, Florida, and was instrumental in building an airplane from scratch onsite. She enjoyed flying, and longed to be the first woman on Mars. She continued her goal of being involved in astronomy by graduating from the National Aviation Academy in Clearwater, Florida, and dreamed of one day being an astronaut. She was briefly employed by Lockheed Martin in Florida. Throughout her schooling, Chelci worked at Starbuck's as a barista, a job she loved immensely because it gave her an opportunity to interact and create something personal for each customer. She had an incredible way of drawing people in to talk and treasured the stories they would share with her, looking forward to those who returned often to see and update her. She resumed that quest with Starbucks for the last several years. Chelci loved her solitude as much as she loved talking with friends or family, and found continual solace in reading daily from a wide variety of genres. She painted, and was talented in an assortment of crafts and hobbies, always wanting to learn some of everything. Her favorite pastime, though, was jigsaw puzzles and their therapeutic value. In addition to her parents, Chelci will be dearly missed by her siblings: Jessica Eva Stoner (Jordan Christopher) of Independence, Missouri, Tyrell Fullmer (Kerynn Mary) of Herriman, UT; Gabriel Macenzie Fullmer of Fairmont, West Virginia, Dalton Hone of West Jordan, Utah; Kali Lynn Hone of West Jordan, Utah; as well as two nieces and a nephew. She is also survived by very special grandparents. All of us will miss her smile, but forever have it emblazoned in our souls.
