In Loving Memory of Susan Carol (Warren) Horn

Susan Carol (Warren) Horn, 82, passed away peacefully on May 2, 2026, in  Tucson, Arizona. Born 0n August 8, 1943, in South Haven, Michigan, while her  parents were vacationing, Susan was raised on a farm in West Lafayette, Indiana,  and spent most of her life in nearby West Point before retiring to Green Valley,  Arizona. She graduated from Montmorenci High School and attended Purdue  University.

Susan was a devoted mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, sister and  friend whose warmth, intelligence and adventurous spirit enriched the lives of all  who knew her. She is survived by her sons, Dennis (Carol) Oliver of Attica and  Jeff (Misti) Oliver of West Point; six grandchildren, Hannah and Eloise Oliver,  Gentry Oliver, Cora Copeland, Keegan and Carlie Woods; one great grandchild,  Blakely Oliver; her special niece, Sarah Jane (Greg) Maddox; and sister Sally  Warren. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband and soulmate of 26  years, Billy Rosen Horn; her brother, Richard Warren Jr.; and her parents, Richard  Warren Sr. and Eloise (Guirl) Warren. She was also married to and later divorced  from her first husband, Dr. Jack Oliver, DVM.

A proud and dedicated civil servant, Susan devoted 26 years to the United States  Postal Service before retiring. She approached her work with the same  commitment, integrity and determination that defined every aspect of her life.  Susan found joy in cooking meals for those she loved, tending to her many plants  and losing herself in a good book. No matter where life took her, Susan remained  a devoted Purdue Boilermaker fan. She cheered on her Boilermakers with  unwavering loyalty, celebrating the victories, enduring the heartbreaks, and  proudly supporting her team through every season. She possessed an  adventurous spirit that never faded. Travel was one of her greatest passions and  she embraced every adventure with curiosity and excitement. Whether  witnessing the Great Migration across the Serengeti plains in Africa (including a  Hot Air Balloon Safari), marveling at the Sydney Opera House in Australia, or  discovering countless destinations in between, she viewed the world with wonder  and gratitude. Every new place became another cherished chapter in a life well  lived.

Susan was cosmopolitan in her tastes, intellectually curious and never hesitated  to express her opinions. You knew where she stood on any subject and she  always spoke with honesty, conviction, authenticity and wit. Those who loved her  admired her independence and respected her strength and fighting spirit. Above  all, Susan loved her family. Her greatest legacy is the love, resilience and  curiosity she passed on to all those she so deeply cherished. She taught by  example that life should be lived fully, that the world is meant to be explored and  that authenticity is one of life's greatest virtues.

As we mourn Susan's passing, we also celebrate a life lived with courage,  curiosity and love. Her family asks that she be remembered not for the sadness  of her passing, but for the joyful memories she created throughout her remarkable  life's journey. Whether through a shared meal, an unforgettable trip, a spirited  conversation or a quiet act of kindness, Susan left each of us with moments to  cherish. Those memories are her enduring legacy and they will continue to bring  comfort, laughter and inspiration for generations to come.

A celebration of Susan's life will be held on her birthday, August 8th, in West  Point, Indiana. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to a  charity that was meaningful to Susan or that acts of kindness be performed in her  memory. She will be deeply missed and forever loved.
