Dawn Horning Obituary
She graduated from Ft. Smith Christian High School in 1988. She graduated with honors from Cameron University, Lawton, Okla. in 1993. She taught fourth grade at Lamar Elementary, Denison from 1997-2000. At that time she made the second most important decision in her life -to be a stay-at-home Mom. Her most important decision was accepting Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. The time she got to spend with her sons is what sustained her throughout her illness.
She is survived by two sons, William Hughes Horning and Luke Gabriel Horning; parents Howard and Carole Hughes, Madill, Okla. and Linda Carson, Ft. Smith, Ark.; Godparents Suzanne Smart and John Schoell, Oklahoma City, Okla.; brother and sister-in-law John and Renee Hughes, Lewisville; aunts and uncles John and Dorothy Swindle and Jeff and Dana Swindle, Lucas; Karen Sandefur, Del City, Okla.; Bob and Jean Holloway, Ft. Supply, Okla.; Lloyd and Cathy Hughes, Madill, Okla.; and many other relatives and friends.

Dawn was an amazing individual. I will forever take away from my time knowing Dawn is this - you were never ever allowed to be less then hopeful in her presence no matter what trials life put her through she never wavered from her faith and devotion and belief in our Lord and Savior. It is truly a testimony for us all! I will miss her greatly.

It was a true pleasure to have worked with Dawn at Lamar. She left her mark on every student she taught and through her boys her spirit will live. Dawn's suffering has now ended and she will always be a part of your lives. She will be greatly missed.
