Tatum Marie

Horn

On November 18, 1999, Tatum Marie Horn made her appearance to the world. On April 26, 2018, she received her angel wings.

Tatum was one of the brattiest, sweetest, most fun-loving girls that you would ever hope to meet. She was born into this large, crazy family that all knew that Jacob was her "favorite" cousin.

As Tatum grew up, she loved cheerleading. When her sister, Avery, got old enough, Tatum would jump on the trampoline and bounce Avery into the air to do cheer stunts. She would argue with her mom, Gayla, one minute and be hugging her the next. As for Tatum and hugs, if she hugged you, you knew that you had been hugged! She gave them tightly and so full of love. And like any teenager, she was never far from her friends or her phone.

Tatum's tomboy adventurous side could be seen in the time that she spent fishing and shooting the bow with her dad, Johnny.

Christian and Tatum enjoyed taking trips to Louisiana to visit his family there. Tatum had said, more than once, that the two of them were destined to be together. They truly loved each other. They started a family, last week, with a new puppy named Dakota. Tatum also had her rottweiler, Marley, which she raised and loved very much. Her love of animals didn't stop there. She had discovered a passion for horseback riding, with her favorite horse being Misty.

Tatum's fun-loving attitude was also seen in her love of dancing. She had mastered the "Swing", which she practiced with her papa.

She was looking forward to graduating and starting her training to become a paramedic, which was her lifelong dream.

She is now dancing in heaven with her great-grandma, Lawanda McKinney and her grandfather, Jonnie Horn. She is also watching over those left behind, including her parents, Gayla Horn of Tuttle and Johnny Horn of Madill; her sister, Avery Horn of Tuttle; her grandparents, Debbie Lamb of Madill, and Gary and Renae Summers of Tuttle; her boyfriend, Christian Boatman of Moore; her great-grandparents; lots of aunts, uncles, and cousins; and many, many friends.

Pick out a twinkling star each night and know that Tatum will always be in the hearts of each one of us!

Funeral service will be held at 1:30 PM, Wednesday, May 2, 2018, at the Tuttle High School Auditorium. Burial will follow in the Fairview Cemetery in Tuttle. Arrangements are under the direction of Eisenhour Funeral Home of Blanchard. Online obituary and guestbook are available at www.eisenhourfh.com.
