Horton, Saleta 

MaMaw soared to heaven February 25, 2003, mid-morning at Golden Rule 
Nursing Center in Shawnee, Oklahoma. MaMaw as she was affectionately 
known by everyone, was born Saleta Fowlkes, December 16, 1931, in 
Greenville, Texas. MaMaw married Conner Horton on August 16, 1910 in 
Greenville, Texas. They had three sons, Conner Lynn who went to 
heaven at the age of almost 3, Larry who too went to heaven at the 
age of 40. She is survived by her son Tom and daughter-in-law Susie 
of Wynnewood, Oklahoma, three grandsons, Pat and Matt Horton, of 
Norman, Oklahoma, Jon Horton of Wynnewood, Oklahoma. Four great 
granddaughters, Conner Ashley, Keyla and Emily. MaMaws extended 
family includes Sallie Bostick of Wynnewood, Oklahoma, James Bostick 
of Fort Worth, Texas, Susan Bostick Mein of Littleton, Colorado, and 
Scott Bostick of Morrison, Colorado. MaMaw graduated from Wesley Jr. 
College, Greenville, Texas and East Texas State Teachers College, 
Corsicana, Texas, and taught school for 30 years, teaching mainly the 
4th grade. Pawpaw was coach and school administer. They lived in 
Rule, Texas before coming to Wynewood in 1970, where they retired and 
ranched. MaMaw was active in the First United Methodist Church. She 
volunteered in the Nursing Home where her daughter-in-law was the 
administrator, until 2 months ago, as she would say, she was going to 
visit the elderly in the Nursing Home, driving herself of course. It 
can truly be said, that she never said a cruel word about anyone. She 
gave faithfully, financially and always supported each Pastor. She 
was OUR MAMAW!! MaMaw was a class act. What a reunion Monday 
morning!!!! I know without a doubt Pawpaw, Conner Lynn and Larry were 
waiting her arrival and oh yes PaPaw and MaMaw Dowdy were there too. 
Guess it's time to say goodbye.....but you know I've never been good 
at goodbyes...so Ill just say Rest in Peace......Rest in Peace. 
Funeral services will be Wednesday February 26, 2003 at 2 PM at the 
First United Methodist Church in Wynnewood under the direction of the 
DeArman Funeral Home of Wynnewood. Interment will be in the Oaklawn 
Cemetery in Wynnewood.
