Patricia Ann (DeFratus) Horn, 66, of Colbert, Okla., passed away Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2020 at Alliance Health Durant. After 66 years and 10 months, our beloved Tricia has gone home to visit her mother, dad and brother. She was born Dec. 8, 1953 in Sherman, Texas to Enoch (Sonny) Laverne and Rosie Mae Taylor DeFratus.
She lived in Sherman and Bonham briefly before settling down in Pottsboro, Texas and graduated from Pottsboro High School and Grayson County Junior College. She went to work for the Grayson County Clerk’s Office, only leaving it reluctantly to follow her new husband to Oklahoma. After getting her son started in school, she went to work as a teller for First United Bank which she enjoyed immensely, working there several years until carpal tunnel forced her early retirement.
Tricia enjoyed going to country music shows, regularly attending That Country Music Place, Reagan Jubilee, and Mary’s Music Barn. These events became date nights for her and her husband, which we had lots of. She also loved following high school sports such as basketball and baseball working hard to keep her husband from becoming a referee, which was a hard job to hoe.
Tricia was preceded in death by her parents, Sonny and Rosie DeFratus, and brother, Mike DeFratus, all of Pottsboro, Texas.
She is survived by her husband Andy Horn of 46 years and 2 days; son, Tommy Horn of the home Colbert, Okla.; brother, Darrell DeFratus of Durango, Colo. and sister-in-law, Betty DeFratus of Pottsboro, Texas.
A Funeral Service for Patricia Horn was held Saturday, Oct. 31, 2020 at Cunningham Funeral Home in Colbert, Okla. with Pastor Roger Speers and Donald Ford officiating.
Pallbearers were Joe DeFratus, Jonathan Horn, Chris Jones, Dustin Horn, Jeff Horn, and Paul Kimberlin.
Arrangements are entrusted to Cunningham Funeral Home in Colbert, Oklahoma
