Carolyn Jo Hornor

Born in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania, on June 5, 1945, Carolyn was the cherished daughter of the late William J. and Nedra H. (Riley) Zahniser. She grew up in Clarksburg and Bridgeport, West Virginia, where she graduated from Bridgeport High School.

Carolyn built a rewarding career as a computer programmer, working for Accra-Pac and Holiday Rambler in Elkhart. Beyond her professional accomplishments, she was a woman of deep creativity and skill. Throughout her life, she maintained a passion for arts and crafts, dedicating countless hours to sewing, cross-stitching, and most recently, diamond art. She and her beloved husband also shared a passion for travel, spending many fond years exploring in their RV alongside close friends.

She was preceded in death by her devoted husband, Gerald L. Hornor, in March 2019; her parents, William and Nedra Zahniser of Largo, Florida; and her brother, Clarence "Bill" W. Zahniser of Valdosta, Georgia.

Carolyn’s memory will be cherished by her four children: Robert W. Hornor of Elkhart, Neal W. Hornor and his wife Stephanie of Bristol, Jodi L. Santiago of Bel Air, Maryland, and Richard A. Hornor of Elkhart. She is also survived by 10 grandchildren, and 14 great-grandchildren.

In accordance with her wishes, cremation has taken place, and no public services will be held. Her ashes will be laid to rest alongside her late husband, Gerald.
