I am sorry to hear of Mrs. Horton’s passing, she was a wonderful Christian and I know she is with her sweet Jesus now. . She was always interested in what was going on in my life. I used to sit with her in church.
Nana Horton loved, held and comforted so many children at West Asheville Baptist including my own ! She use to say now Mommy you go on to church nana Horton will take care of this baby! Sure enough I would pick the children up and they would be laughing and saying bye nana Horton! Loved that Lady if I could be half the woman she was! She is a blessing from God!

Loved this wonderful lady! Always a smile on her face and a big hug for me every time I saw her. She is surely celebrating in Heaven today!
Gregg, Ashley, Nathan…we know you will miss her…she was such a delight. We cannot be at the service, but we will be thinking of you.
Love,
Bonnie and Tom
She is safely home now with her earthly family, Uncle Lucius, Aunt Jessie and sisters, Sue, Lois, and Mildred and her husband, Allison. Never has the children in WABC nursery been more loved. Looking forward to a great celebration one day. She will be missed.
Saddened to hear of Ms Horton’s passing. . She was a lovely person and I always enjoyed talking with her .

So sad to read of another precious Lady from WABC leaving us! At least we know she’s home with her Lord & earthly family that went before her! You will be missed!
