She attended Basic High School in Henderson, Nevada and graduated from Pacific High School in San Bernardino, California 1958. She met her husband Donald Hornyak while living in Henderson and they were married until his death in 1973. She moved to Merced in 1976, where she worked in escrow. She then opened her own business, the area's first independent full service escrow office, Greater Central Valley Escrow. She operated her business for over two decades. After her retirement, she traveled and enjoyed her family. She was a strong, independant and loving mother, grandmother and great grandmother.
She will be greatly missed by her 3 children, Brenda Hall, Tony Hornyak and John Hornyak (Jerilyn Perry-Hornyak). She had 8 grandchildren, Coryn Leonardo, Lucas Leonardo (Vanessa Leonardo) Dylan Hornyak, Caitlin McBride (Chad McBride) Barrett Daniels, Arianna Canida (Jesse Canida), Noah Hall and Hanna Hornyak.
