Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute

Patricia “Pat” Horton, 76, of Lee’s Summit, Missouri passed away on April 23, 2021 after a long and courageous battle with cancer. She was born Jan 17, 1945 to her late parents John Ferrell and Alice Agnes Larkin in Lexington, Missouri. She grew up in Lexington with her siblings, Ann, Mike, Tim and Tere.
Pat married her lifetime surviving companion, Harry Horton, on Aug 20, 1964. During their marriage, she worked as a seamstress in the home while also raising her children, Tim Horton of Odessa, Missouri, Brian (Julie) Horton of Kansas City, Missouri, Scott Horton of Lee’s Summit, Missouri & Tricia (Floyd “Dino”) Woodrome of Independence, Missouri. Pat loved spending time with her grandchildren: Justin Chrisp, Talysa Cahill, Alexzandra “Zandy” Horton, Sam Horton, Chelsea Oxley, Briana Woodrome, Josh Horton, Gabrielle Horton, Ashley Horton and Kyle Horton. She also cherished her time with her great-grandchildren: Jacob, Kadence, Riley, Rosie, Aubree, Alexandra & Spencer.
Pat was an avid Genealogist and belonged to many societies, including The National Society of Colonial Dames of the 17th Century, Daughters of the American Revolution, United Daughters of the Confederacy, National Society of Magna Charta Dames, Dames of the Court of Honor, Daughter of the American Colonists and The National Huguenot Society. In her spare time, she found enjoyment with sewing, crocheting, knitting, and cross-stitching. She was loved dearly and will be greatly missed.

    Pat was highly intelligent. She had a vast amount of knowledge about Colonial history as well as genealogy. She helped countless women join many genealogical societies. Pat wasn’t in any organization for glory or high positions. She simply wanted to make a significant contribution in an unselfish way to the groups she was in. She always had the best interest of the group in mind. She worked very diligently and brought integrity to what she did. She could be counted on to do a thoroughly good job. She was a Registrar General in the Colonial Dames of the 17th Century. Her knowledge and expertise will be impossible to replace. She is held in very high esteem by her colleagues. She will be missed by many. Thank you Pat Horton for furthering our Society. You are highly respected. We will be forever grateful.

    Was so glad I was able to meet Pat and work with her a bit on some genealogy. Her passion for family history was remarkable.

    Patricia is such a beauty and already missed, with her upbeat personality! She was so very proud of Red and her children. Pat absolutely loved talking about her childhood upbringing and ancestral conversations of all kinds. She was dedicated to research and civic duty. Pat was an encyclopedia for research, with her vast knowledge, for ancestral heritage. She was an outstanding guide in Washington DC. Her memory will be served well by all who benefited from her friendship.

    Love and warmest sympathy to her family. We are deeply sorry for your loss.
