Bess Horn
Feb. 2, 1911 - Aug. 3, 2001

Bess Horn, 90, of Vernal, died August 3, 2001 at the Parkdale Care Center in Price. She was born Feb. 2, 1911 near Monahans, Texas in a little house on the prairie.

She was born again by grace alone through faith in Christ in 1925 in a little log Baptist church in Amarillo, Texas. Having received the forgiveness of all her sins and the gift of eternal life, she was baptized as a public testimony of her faith in Christ not long after she was saved.

She worked in a munitions factory in Louisiana during World War II. She also worked as a bookkeeper for many years in California and as a professional seamstress in St. George.

One of the highlights of her life was to go on a two-month trip to work with some Baptist missionaries in Mexico in 1976. She was a faithful member of the Grace Baptist Church of Vernal and truly loved the Lord. She donated her body to science.

She was married twice, but has no descendants.

She is survived by a brother, Don Horn, St. George; sister, Pauline Blake, New Harmony; and many nephews and nieces.

A memorial service in her honor was held August 5 at the Grace Baptist Church.
