Sue Horn
Mt. Vernon, 1960-2017
Susan M. Horn, 57,
passed away at home on
November 28 after a cou-
rageous battle with Glio-
blastoma. Sue beat many
odds and outlived her
prognosis for years beyond
expectation. She was a true
fighter and loved life and
it loved her right back. At
Sue’s request, a lively and
joyful Celebration of Life
will be held to honor her
memory: Saturday, Decem-
ber 2, at 2:00 p.m. at the
Mt. Vernon Community
Hall. A potluck and time
of fellowship will immedi-
ately follow.
Sue was born on No-
vember 1, 1960 in John
Day to parents George
and Bonnie Harper. She
joined older siblings Mary,
Lola, Lala, Loren (Toink)
and John. Together they
grew up along Harper
Creek and spent many
years without electricity
or running water (except
for a pitcher pump). The
kids spent their youth
playing outside, reading,
playing cards and games
like Rummy and Spin the
Bottle, shooting squirrels,
and learning many songs
through “Name That Tune”
with dad on the banjo. One
time Sue even got her hair
parted with a rogue arrow
shot by her brother John!
After graduating high
school in 1978, Sue did
some traveling (Alaska,
Germany) and eventually
ended up in Elgin in 1983
where she worked at the
lumber mill. Steve Horn
was working there, too,
and it was only a matter of
time before the two were
smitten.
Sue invited Steve to her
house one time and had
renovated a lot of it on her
own. Steve was hugely
impressed by this and
remembers the smell of
cinnamon cans sitting on
her oil stove. Sue was an
incredibly hard worker and
was even offered a fore-
man job at the mill after
only a short time. True to
her integrity, she turned
the job down because she
felt she wasn’t as quali-
fied as other, longer-tenure
employees.
Steve and Sue were mar-
ried in 1984, and Steve
will tell you this was the
best decision he ever made.
They raised a wonderful
mix of kids: Stephanie,
Tara, Heath, Sterling and
Laramie. The lived in
Elgin, Summerville and
Netarts before settling for
good in Mt. Vernon.
Sue held many jobs
throughout her life, from
firefighting and engineer-
ing to office management
and even owning a store in
Mt. Vernon. She embraced
a variety of titles but would
say the true champion of
her accomplishments in
the working world was
obtaining the official title
of Road Master of Grant
County.
Sue’s ability to motivate
others and lead by example
inspired everyone around
her to strive for better,
whether it be in their
personal or professional
lives. Her work ethic and
overall good-natured, butt-
kicking attitude made her
a respected and treasured
teammate in every orga-
nization she was part of.
Sue’s devotion to Mt. Ver-
non is easily remembered
and marked by her time
spent on city council and
as town Mayor, and by her
selfless service and dedica-
tion to the beautification of
and improvements to the
community.
Aside from
family, Steve
and Sue’s
houses on
Cottonwood
Street were
her pride and
Sue
joy.
Horn
She
was the absolute best at
making any place feel
like home. She loved all
things antique and vintage
farmhouse like old wash
basins, cast iron, repurpos-
ing, quilting and sewing,
and canning.
She was a talented cook,
cake baker, artist, builder,
designer and decorator,
and never feared trying
new things or taking on big
challenges.
Sue spent hundreds of
loving hours tending to
her vegetable and flower
gardens and was a certified
Master Gardener and Food
Preserver. Spending time
camping with friends and
family on Tex Creek or
Murderer’s Creek topped
the list of her favorite
things, right up there with
sitting on the porch with
a cold drink, watching the
world go by or visiting
with company.
Sue kept life organized
for so many in the Horn/
Harper/Thissell/Weaver
family. She was the glue
that held everything
together and her spirit and
affection for togetherness
will be deeply missed.
Her door was always
open and she was genu-
inely the most giving per-
son—giving of her time,
thoughts, hugs, smiles, and
conversation.
She was the first to vol-
unteer wherever she was
needed, was full of joy and
was quite the comedian—
she was never afraid to
make a fool of herself and
was one heck of a covered
wagon racer! Sue espe-
cially loved to dance: Life
may not be the party we
hoped for, but while we’re
here, we should dance.
Sue is survived by her
husband of 33 years,
Steve; children Stephanie
(Ty), Tara (Jeff), Heath,
Sterling (Emily), and Lara-
mie; sisters Mary (Dennis)
and Lala (Artie); brothers
Toink (Jaunita) and John
(Doris); grandchildren
Carsen, Camryn, Cooper,
Trevyn, Kaden, and Kal-
lin; and numerous aunts,
uncles, nieces, nephews,
and cousins.
