Bobbie Sue Horton, age 82, of Hobe Sound, FL, passed away peacefully on Monday, January 11, 2021 at her home, with her beloved husband by her side.

Bobbie is survived first and foremost by her beloved, devoted husband of thirty-three years, Walter Julian Horton, whose unwavering captivation and unconditional love and adoration for Bobbie was limitless and unquestionably mutual. Their partnership was overflowing with love and possessed every quality one imagines a truly perfect example of companionship should be.  Bobbie and Julian's unity is what every couple hopes and strives for and for them it was entirely effortless.  The depth and sincerity of the admiration, affection, reverence, respect, and profound love and joy between Bobbie and Julian is impossible to do justice to with written words and is truly awe-inspiring.

Bobbie and Julian loved to travel and for many years, they ventured throughout North America in their Motorhome and traveled the world together, creating precious memories.  They also enjoyed playing golf and tennis together and years ago Bobbie was the president of the Women's Golf Club in their community of Eaglewood in Hobe Sound.  She was also an excellent chef and had a passion for cooking. Bobbie enjoyed collecting art, antiques, and unique furnishings.  She had an impeccable sense of style and refinement which was reflected in every facet of her life.
