Horne – Pamla Lucille Horne, age 73, of Sanderson, Florida passed away peacefully on June 13, 2026, at St. Vincent’s Riverside Center for Caring with her loving family by her side. She was born in Macon, Georgia on May 24, 1953, to the late Thomas Passmore and Martha Rowell Passmore. She spent most of her life in Baker County where she built a beautiful life and created lifelong memories. Shortly after graduating high school, she married her best friend, Lester Darryl Horne. Together they shared a wonderful marriage and were blessed with a legacy of two children, seven grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. Family was truly the center of Pamla’s world. She devoted her life to nurturing those around her and she cherished her roles as a wife, mother, and grandmother. Pamla believed in the importance of a fresh start, a philosophy she lived out every morning by preparing breakfast for her husband and children. She was the matriarch who kept everyone organized, seamlessly planning and hosting the family events that created lasting memories. She was saved by God’s amazing grace at an early age which transformed her life and shaped the woman she became. For years, Pamla attended Calvary Baptist Church, praising and worshipping alongside fellow church family. Outside of her devotion to her family and faith, Pamla had an appreciation for bluegrass soulful music. Nothing brought Pamla greater joy than being surrounded by her family, and she especially delighted in creating unforgettable moments with her beloved grandchildren who affectionately called her “Gigi”. Pamla was truly an anchor to her family and will be deeply missed by all who knew her. She was preceded in death by her parents; loving husband of years, Lester Darryl Horne; and her sister, Janice Durenda Horne.
Pamla is survived by her beloved children, Quincy Darryl (April) Horne of Macclenny, FL and Lester Todd (Sandy) Horne of Taylor, FL; sister, Anjette Smith of Lake Butler, FL; grandchildren, Grace, Heather, Bryson, Hardy Lee, Rhett, Dalton, and Levi; great grandchildren, Colson, Kinsley, and Lawton.
