Horton, one grandson, a great grandson, a great great grandson, as well as multiple cousins, nieces, and nephews, living throughout the United States. Born in Warren, Ohio, in 1920, Mary grew up in Los Angeles, California, after her family moved there while she was still very young. She first came to New Mexico in the mid- 1950s when she moved to White Sands Proving Grounds (now WSMR) with her son, daughter, and husband, when he was transferred to the "Desert Ship". Early in the 1960s she and her family moved to Las Cruces, where she has resided ever since. In Lieu of flowers, Mary expressed the wish that donations be made either to Mesilla Valley Hospice or to the Baptist Children's Home. A pot luck will be held at Calvary Baptist Church on Friday July 27, 2012 at noon. PDF Printable Version
