Christina Barbee Huneycutt

   Mrs. Christina Barbee Huneycutt, following a recent illness, passed away on Thursday, July 30, 2026 in Monroe, NC. 

  A native of Stanly County, NC, she was the daughter of Grover and Estelle Barbee who preceded her in death. Mrs. Huneycutt was a 1965 graduate of West Stanly High School. In the Winter of 1968 at Pleasant Grove Baptist Church, she wed Ronald James Huneycutt (also a Stanly County native who preceded her in death) with whom she shared her life for 53 years. 

  Mrs. Huneycutt spent years of her professional life assisting the residents of Stanly County at Albemarle's "tag office." Grocery shopping was an extended endeavor because she would often be stopped to answer questions, to which she always responded. Later in her career, she served as office administrator at the dental office of Dr. Bill Hatley, Jr., from where she retired to spend more time with her husband. 

  She was an engaged member of the Republican Party and assisted with local level campaigns. Mrs. Huneycutt enjoyed life’s simple pleasures: working outside with her plants and flowers, riding the golf cart to visit the farm, frequenting Southport, NC with her husband, making the absolute best coconut cake, and spending time with family and friends.Mrs.
