Eathleane "Happy" Horton was born on January 25, 1934 in Monticello, Florida to the late John Sillemon and Victoria Barrington Ammons. She moved to Dade City to attend Moore Academy and graduated in 1953. She moved to Tampa and returned to Dade City in 2018. She renewed her membership with Mount Zion A.M.E. Church. She departed this life peacefully on October 25, 2024 at Dade City Health and Rehabilitation Center.

She was always a positive person and laughed often. She was given the name "Happy" by our grandfather because he said she was always laughing and was a very happy baby. She enjoyed life and enjoyed working with people as a waitress and cook. Her faith and trust in God was always steadfast no matter the circumstances in her life.

She was preceded in death by her brothers, John Ammons, Joseph Ammons, William Ammons, sisters Marie C. Brown, Earleane Morgan and Annie Nelson. Cherishing her memories are sister JoeAnn Lewis, nieces, nephews, cousins, many relatives and friends. She will be missed. Thanks to the staff and all those who cared for Happy at Dade City Health and Rehabilitation Center. Memorial Service will be held at Hodges Family Chapel in Dade City on November 09, 2024, from 12:00 pm until 2:00 pm. Please send any donations or flowers to the American Heart Association.
