Agnes Horn, passed from this earth into Heaven on Thursday, July 12, 2012, surrounded and embraced by her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The essence of "Nanny" is found in the words of American poet Robert Frost: "We love the things we love for what they are". Nanny did just that. She loved her church, her family, her friends and neighbors. She was raised and lived in West Point her entire life. Ag was a faithful lifetime member of West Point United Methodist Church. She chose to love, to care and to smile at all of life moments. These were not one-time choices, they were life decisions. She was always active in the church and held many offices and also played the piano and organ for many years. Ag was a member of Golden Oldies, Wayne Township Home Ec. Club, Alcoa Retiree Club and a Pink Lady for Home Hospital. She was an active member of Shawnee Chapter #523, now affiliated with West Lafayette's Chapter of The Order of Eastern Star. She was their organist for 70 years. In May of this year, she received her 75 year pin in Eastern Star. She was also a past Matron of Shawnee Eastern Star.

She worked at the Tippecanoe County Court House in the County Assessors' office for 18 years. She married Kenneth E. Horn on September 2, 1939, and had three wonderful children, Billy R. Horn, Ted E.
