Margie Horton Obituary

Margie G. Horton, 81, of Humble, Texas, departed this world on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, surrounded by love, leaving behind a legacy etched in strength, sacrifice, and boundless devotion. Her passing at a medical center in Kingwood marks the end of a life rich in resilience and grace.

A funeral service celebrating her extraordinary journey will be held June 6th at 11:00 a.m. at Marek-Burns-Laywell Funeral Home in Cameron, TX, with burial to follow at the quiet grounds of Rice Cemetery, where generations of stories rest beside hers.

Born in Briartown, Oklahoma, Margie was the daughter of William J. “Buster” Wise, Jr. and Ruby Elizabeth (Hunt) Wise, parents who raised her with a strong will and an open heart. Margie carved her own path as a dedicated businesswoman with an entrepreneurial spirit, but it was in her roles as a mother, sister, grandmother, and friend that her true light shone.

She faced her share of sorrow, having been preceded in death by her beloved sister Sharon Harbour, and brothers Russell and Harvey Wise. Yet she carried that weight with quiet dignity, never allowing grief to harden her spirit.

Margie’s greatest pride was her family. She is survived by her son, Larry Horton of Boise, Idaho; her daughter, Lisa Horton of Humble, TX; her steadfast brothers, Charles Wise of Cameron and Clell Wise of Bryan; her devoted sister, Theresa Klecka of Academy; and a legacy of love carried forward by her seven grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren. To them, she was more than a matriarch — she was the soul of every gathering, the keeper of stories, and the anchor in life’s storms.

Those who knew Margie will remember her as a quiet force — steady, kind, and unshakably loyal. Her wisdom was given freely, her laughter warmly shared, and her love felt in every hug, every holiday, every late-night phone call.

Her chapter here has closed, but her story continues in the hearts she touched. May she rest in peace, reunited with those she missed so dearly.
