Bertha Horne

October 20, 1947 — March 4, 2021

Marshville

Bertha Ann Cavanaugh Fisher Horne, 73, of Marshville, passed away Thursday, March 4, 2021.

Mrs. Horne was born October 20, 1947 to the late Henry Sylvester Cavenaugh, Jr. and the late Anna Fisher. In addition to her parents, she was also preceded in death by her sister, Elaine Harris.

Lovingly known as Bertha Ann, Mama, Memaw, and Honey, Bertha Horne was the bedrock of her family.  With her list making and project planning, she was the chief organizer of family life.  She loved and raised her children well and enjoyed spending time with them and her grandchildren.  She loved her husband dearly and was thankful for his hard work and care for 54 years.

In her younger years, she was a talented artist and crafter with many of her works decorating her home.  She enjoyed collecting cookbooks and recipes, planning home projects, and watching the birds from her window.  Even throughout 41 years of stroke-induced disability, she kept a positive outlook and strong will.  She was "home" to the people that loved her.

A graveside service will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 13th, 2021 at Pleasant Hill Baptist Church Cemetery, 7002 Pleasant Hill Church Road in Marshville, officiated by Pastor Lee Proctor.  Face masks will be available.

Bertha is survived by her husband of 54 years, Curtis Horne; son, Chris (Denise) Horne; daughter, Wendy (Roger) Growcock; son, Brian (Jeanie) Horne; grandchildren, Alex and Ethan Horne, Hayley Growcock; sisters, Beverly (Otis) Miller; Lillian McCreary; brother, Robert M. (Teresa) Fisher, III, John (Janet) Fisher.
