Susie Horton Obituary
- - Susie (Gebhardt) Drumm Horton passed away on March 6, 2019 from leukemia, surrounded by her children, Dustin Drumm and wife Heather, Chris Drumm and wife Samantha, grandchildren, Riley, Jake, Hudson, Benjamin, and Leighton, brother Larry Gebhardt, and her beloved Monty Bunker, along with family and friends.
Susie was born August 27, 1947 in Sunbury, Pennsylvania, the daughter of Gene and Mary Gebhardt. For many years, home was Las Cruces, NM, where she was known as the warm, friendly leader of Gene's Fine Jewelers and Business Products Center. Next, home was an RV, adventuring with Monty and their dogs. At last they settled in Granbury, Texas, where Susie loved the charm of the small town and its people.
Susie will be remembered for her beautiful smile, bright laughter, and incredible hugs. She lived life with joy, faith, gratitude, and grace. She was a mother, a "gammy", a sister, a daughter, a partner, an aunt, and a friend.
A celebration of life will be held at the beach this summer, details to be announced. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to Be the Match (http://www.bethematch.org), or Tracy's Dogs (http://www.tracysdogs.com). Please forever honor Susie by laughing often and loving well.

My Condolences to Susie's Son's and family on the loss of a Beautiful Lady. I am deeply saddened to hear of Susie's passing. She had so much warmth to her personality. I've known her since Gene's Fine Jewelers and then Business Products Center. She was always so caring and always with a smile. May GOD Bless her Soul and may he bring Peace, Love and Comfort to you.

To all the family, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Susie was just so much fun. I didn't see her often, but when I did, she was just a joy to be around. That laugh and smile of hers! I hope your wonderful memories bring you peace.

I have fond, vivid memories of Susie during special and life changing times for me in Las Cruces. Descriptives like positive, supportive and fun don't really do Susie justice. You couldn't help but smile, in and out, while in her presence. And she could shoot tequila with the best of 'em! ;) One of the good ones is gone and will be missed.Jonathan IsonToronto
