Ellen Mae Oglesby Hornburg, left this world quietly Thursday evening, February 15, 2018 at the Rouse Warren County Home, Youngsville, PA.

Ellen was one of eight children. All but two have gone on ahead.
Ellen graduated Emlenton High School and Olive Branch Training School in Chicago, IL. She worked hand in hand in the ministry with her husband, Norman Hornburg, Sr…he preached to adults and she to women and children in many ways. This team work took place in approximately eight churches in Western PA (Free Methodist Church). Norman currently lives at the Rouse Home, Youngsville, PA., April 14, 2018 would have been their 61st Wedding Anniversiary. 61 years of marriage produced seven children; Tim (Debbie), Dan (Carrie), Florence, Joy, Anna (Jack), Norman (Dawn)…as well as 14 Grandchildren and 5 Great Grands!! 2 Siblings Don Oglesby and Ann Oglesby Winkler are currently still living in their home near Emlenton, PA.
Ellen loved life by planting flowers, ministering, giving what she could, time with children and grands, quilting and reading MANY books. Her richness of time, energy, patience, giving and caring will live on in all of us.
