MARY HORTON Obituary


Mary Calhoun Horton  
Passed away on New Years Eve, December 31, 2020. Mary's husband, Tim Welsh, is joined by their children Grace, Sam and Kate, and her siblings, Mark, David and Jane, in remembering her strong and tenacious character. She had a sharp wit, was brilliant, compassionate, and cared for her friends and family fiercely. Mary lived all over the world, had a career as a registered nurse (caring for the likes of Alice Paul), as well as a teacher and artist. She lived a very full life and most recently was reveling in her new role as a grandmother. She will be missed as passionately as she lived. Service scheduled for later date.
