Katharine "Kathy" Emmalee Vowell Horn's Obituary
Katharine “Kathy” Emmalee Vowell Horn, age 59, of Davidson, formerly of Wisconsin, passed peacefully from this life into eternal life on Tuesday, January 29, 2019, at her home. She is the daughter of Jacqueline Palmieri Bruce, (Tom) of Denton, TX and Joseph Walter Vowell, (Karen), of Springfield, VA.
Kathy was a nurturer. Always generous with a radiant smile and a laugh, she devoted herself to her family and created a home full of love. Game night with Jeff, Zach, and Sam would always end in laughter. She loved spending time with her beloved cat, Felix. Kathy was happiest watching her favorite cardinals and blue jays at the bird feeder, reading, and rearranging furniture. She could magically transform any room within hours. Kathy always embraced family, friends, and strangers with genuine warmth and was adored by everyone. She will be missed dearly and cherished forever.
In addition to her parents, Kathy is survived by her husband of more than 30 years, Jeff Horn of Davidson, NC, two sons; Zachary Horn of Brooklyn, NY, Samuel Horn of Charlotte, NC, three sisters; Susan Berg (Jeffrey) of Deerfield, IL, Julie Kelsey (Charley) of Valley View, TX, and Kimberly Lesher (Jeffrey) of Kingsland, GA; a sister-in-law, Susan Lewis of Mobile, AL, brother-in-law, John Horn (Cori) of Austin, TX and a loving family of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.
The family will greet friends in the Narthex of St. Mark Catholic Church, 14740 Stumptown Rd, Huntersville, NC 28078 from 2:15 until 2:45 PM, Friday, February 8, 2019. A Memorial Mass will be held at 3:00 PM, in the church sanctuary. In lieu of flowers, the family request is that memorials be made in Kathy’s name to St. Mark Catholic Church or the Denton Animal Support Foundation (DASF)
