Arline Elaine Horton, age 90, of Sac City, IA, formerly of Odebolt, IA, passed away on Friday, March 9, 2018, at Park View Rehabilitation Center in Sac City.

Arline was born on July 26, 1927, to parents Earl and Helca (Amer) Beach in Sac City. She was baptized and confirmed her faith at the United Methodist Church in Sac City. Arline attended grade school and high school in Sac City, graduating with the class of 1946. She then attended business school at NBT in Sioux City, IA, for a year and a half.

On May 8, 1948, Arline was united in marriage to Eldon Horton in Bronson, IA. This union was blessed with six children: Susan, Jan, Nancy, Mari, Bev, and Bill.

Arline was a housewife and enjoyed raising her family on the farm. She made many wonderful meals for not only her family, but also all of the farm workers...sometimes organizing and making meals on the spur of the moment. Arline was a very active member of the United Methodist Church in Odebolt, and was also a member of the Women's Church Circle. In her free time, Arline loved to sew. She made most of her girls' clothes through their teen years and after that, she sewed things for many others in the community. Arline enjoyed playing bridge with her group of friends over the years. Another one of her favorite things to do was to square dance, she and Eldon would do this any time they had the opportunity. She loved her family and enjoyed spending as much time as she could with them. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.
