Horton and Mary Elizabeth Garrison Horton along with eight siblings: Joyce McKnight, Clois Horton, Lois Harness, Alma Smith, Zelma Bundy, Gladys Eaton, Robert Horton and her twin sister Denvalee Roten.
Estalee and her siblings grew up in the Zack/Marshall communities with a love of music, family and faith instilled in them by their parents. She was self-taught in the art of playing the piano, guitar and mandolin. She was known for creating great meals for her large family many times out of meager beginnings, prescription-strength coffee, contagious laughter and sense of humor, awesome gardening and her ability to make do with whatever she had. She was a positive, fun-loving woman who played high-nine pitch, seriously. Estalee's love of sports included following the Arkansas Razorbacks and Marshall Bobcats programs and attending local sporting events when she could. She was even known to help coach her son's high school football team. After marriage and children, she passed on her love of music, sports and life to all her children but especially important to her, her faith in the Lord, Jesus Christ.
