Lindy M. Horn, 97, Plover, died Wednesday, Sept. 27, 2017.

She was born July 15, 1920, the daughter of the late Louis and Maime (Oshasky) Kinney. She attended local schools and graduated from P.J. Jacobs High School. She attended the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, then later enlisted in the U.S. Army, where she was a photostat operator, writing letters to the families of fallen soldiers. She earned a Victory Medal, American Theater Ribbon, Good Conduct Medal and a WACC Service Ribbon.

After returning from her service, she was married to Albert E. Horn. Their marriage later ended in divorce.

She was active in the local school and community. She was treasurer for the Parent Teacher Association and played an integral role in starting the baseball league in Plover. She worked at Sentry for a number of years until her retirement in 1982.

She loved nature and animals. She could often be found outside tending to her flower and vegetable gardens. She loved visiting with family, friends and neighbors and often made baked goods and jams to give to people.
