Bunny Homa

Bunny Homa was born on 7/7/1951 to her parents, Rodney and Mildred Homa. She grew up in Highland Park with her sister, Ardyce and brother, Howard. In her late teens she took a job at Cecils Deli. One day when icing the glasses one cube at a time, the owner came over, poured the bucket of ice over the glasses and with a big smile, asked “Bunny, Why do you do everything the hard way?” That’s when her real education began! Her efficiency, work ethic and big personality made her a customer favorite. After graduating from Highland Park High School, she attended the University of Minnesota, where she studied child psychology and theater arts. Bunny paused her education to see the world as a flight attendant for Braniff Airlines. She then finished her education at the University of Minnesota with her degree. She took a sales position with Xerox rising to number one in her office in less than a year but ultimately decided that selling copiers wasn’t her thing. Fortunately, she found her thing to be the hospitality industry. Her career began at the Whitney Hotel selling business meetings. She was so successful that other venues recruited her away, including stints at The Nicollet Island Inn and Oakridge Conference Center. She loved working to recruit new business and along the way established many new friends. Finally, in 2010, Bunny followed her favorite manager to Leisure Hotels and Resorts until she comfortably retired in 2019. In retirement, she enjoyed following her cats around, power walking, dance exercise, healthy eating, getting together with friends, throwing things at the tv during Vikings games and occasional weekend getaways. She also perfected parking at an angle over the lines and blocking the entire isle with her shopping cart!
Bunny is currently dancing in R&B Heaven, surrounded by the animals she loved! She will be deeply missed by the rest of us!!
