Wynn Ellen Horne Larkins

Wynn Ellen Horne Larkins passed away on December 5, 2025, after a brief illness, and on the eve of her 77th birthday.

She was born on December 6, 1948, in Jeffersonville, Indiana and grew up in Cookeville, Tennessee. She attended Tennessee Tech University, where she met and married Jim Larkins, her husband of 58 years. After Stephanie was born, the couple transferred to Clark Air Base, Philippines in 1972. After the birth of their second child, Katie, they moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico and then relocated to Montgomery, Alabama in 1980. She and Jim raised their two daughters in Montgomery. Wynn attended nursing school at Auburn University of Montgomery and practiced nursing for almost 25 years at Baptist Hospital.

Wynn was generous to all and enjoyed animals and bird watching. She was a voracious reader her entire life, and a confident wordsmith who worked daily newspaper crossword puzzles in ink. In her retirement, Wynn also enjoyed antiquing and spending time with her four grandchildren. Needless to say, "Nana" will be sorely missed by all.

Wynn was preceded in death by her parents, Thurman and Martha Horne. She is survived by her husband, Jim Larkins, of Montgomery, Alabama, her two daughters, Stephanie (Rick) Hill and Katie (Ryan) Healan, her four grandchildren, Francie Hill, Charlie Hill, Link Healan, and Wynn Healan. She is also survived by her two sisters, Susan Horne Robinson and Pamela Horne Blevins, and her nephews.
