Horty was born in Portage, Pa to Samuel and Rose Berger on October 8, 1917. She met her husband Tom, the love of her life, the first week of college at Carnegie Tech University, and they married on Nov.27, 1939, shortly after she graduated with a degree in Home Economics. They were married for almost fifty years until his passing in July,1989. Horty worked for many years as a dietician at Shady Side Hospital and Presbyterian Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pa. She was proud of her knowledge and enjoyed instructing patients and teaching nursing students about nutrition and proper diet. Horty loved baking and baked cookies and breads for her family and neighbors well into her 90’s. She also loved traveling, and in her later years went to Scotland, Israel and on a Baltic cruise with members of her family. Her family was very important to her, and she was the matriarch of the family for many years. They could count on her to always tell them exactly what she thought, and they never doubted her love for them.
