Ann Wilson Horn was born November 4, 1919 in Waxahachie, Texas to Annie Myrtle (Curry) Wilson and G.M. (Woodrow) Wilson. Soon afterward, the family moved to a farm outside of Miles, Texas where she went to school and graduated from Miles High School. After a short time at Sul Ross College, Ann moved to Kerrville, Texas where she lived for some ten years. While there, she was employed by Real Estate Brokers.
Ann moved to San Angelo and was employed by the founder of Newsfoto Publishing Company as his secretary until his death. She then joined General Telephone Company of the Southwest as Executive Secretary to the Vice President of Public Affairs and remained in that capacity until her retirement some 30 years later.
During her lifetime, she was always interested in civic and local affairs and served on various boards and committees; including the Symphony Guild, Food Bank and others. Ann was Executive Secretary for the West Side Lions Club for 55 years and that organization and its members remained close to her heart. She was a member of First United Methodist Church for over 55 years and was actively involved in the church’s ministry during most of that time.
Her hobbies and interests included gardening, cooking and entertaining. Ann was well known for hosting parties and gatherings of all kinds. Ann also pursued many types of crafts until she felt the strong desire to paint. She began with oils and later changed to watercolors, an avid interest that remained until her death. She was a member of the Telephone Pioneers, P.E.O. Chapter FG, and the San Angelo Art Club.
Ann was married to Cliff Horn for 20 years and during that time, they owned and operated a small ranch in Coleman County which was her great joy.
Ann is survived by her sister, Jackie W. Sissel; nephews Rick Wilson and wife Sharon of Abilene, Randy Richards and wife Karen of San Angelo; nieces Barbara Polanco of San Antonio, Linda Joy Peterson and husband Robert of Boerne, Clara Mills and husband Dean of Grove, OK and Janice Walkup of Muskogee, OK.
Ann loved living at Rio Concho West for the last 20 plus years and was very fond of the staff there.
