of Marshall, AR

February 26, 1930 - February 12, 2024

Muriel Rose Jane Horton, age 93, of Marshall, Arkansas went to be with the Lord on Monday, February 12th, 2024 at her home. She was born at home in Grandview, Arkansas on February 26th, 1930 to John A. Ragland and Laura Freeman Ragland. Muriel was married to her loving husband, Julian ''Jude'' Horton for almost 77 years.

Muriel attended school in Grandview until high school and then went to Marshall High School. She played in the State Basketball Tournament for the Bobcats in 1945. She worked odd jobs to help her family with finances. She made quilts to sell, babysit and did maintenance and cleaning for Citizens Bank for 20 years. Muriel spent her life loving and caring for her family. She loved going to gospel singings with Jude, canning the vegetables from Jude's garden and fishing with Leonard and Sue Horton. She loved her kids, grandkids, great grandkids and great-great grandkids fiercely. Muriel loved to cook for them and send them home with canned pickles and salsa. She also loved cutting up deer and making jerky for all the men in the family. She was a professional baby rocker and she would defend them no matter what they had done. She loved to play Wahoo and she taught all her grandkids how to play. Muriel loved to go places even though she would cling to the door and push a hole in the floorboard every trip. She will be greatly missed by her family.
