Our light, Abby Jayne Horton (20) of Salem, Wisconsin passed away on November 15, 2023 with her family by her side. We were blessed with our girl on March 29, 2003 – from that moment on she shined brightly in every heart she touched.
Abby had a passion for life that permeated into everything she did. While at Wilmot High School, she participated in basketball, Cross Country, Track & Field, 2 years of Badger co-op swim, 6 years of Central Falcons Trap & Skeet.
Abby was on the Dean’s list of the Southern Illinois University Aviation program. She soared above the world and enjoyed having new adventures and the freedom of flying.
Abby was a vibrant and magnetic young woman who loved spending time with her friends, vacationing with her family, Country Thunder, boating, fishing in Canada, spending time with her cousins, grandma’s mashed potatoes, and crafting.
