Lillian J.

Horton

It is with heavy hearts that the Horton family announces the passing of Lillian Jean Horton, 76, a loving wife, mother, and a remarkable woman on October 31st, 2026.
Born July 8th, 1950, she loved sailing, listening to digital books, and being with her family.
She is survived by her spouse Cliff Polubinsky, her daughter Laura Yoder (Jerry), her son Justin Mullens (Bill), stepchildren Rachel (Chris), Sarah (Steve), Jason (Jessica), four grandchildren Celina, Savanna, Makayla, and Isaiah. Her great grandchildren Aubree and Chase.
Lillian dedicated her life to service. The death of her mother impressed upon her the importance of quality health care. This led her to change her career path, earn a Master’s degree in Health Care Administration and serve as the Administrator of Mason Health Care in Warsaw, Indiana, where she retired in 2012.
Lillian’s colleagues and friends remember her as a tireless worker and a mentor to many.
Lillian’s nurturing spirit, unwavering support, and a laugh that would light a room will stay in our hearts. She will be honored as a woman who made a lasting impact on many. May our memories of her kindness and sense of humor encourage us in days to come.
Services will be held at St Mary Magdala Spiritual Center, 2800 Rolston St. Fort Wayne, IN. Viewing will be on Friday, November 20 from 6 PM – 8 PM. A celebration of life will be held at 11 AM on November 21 with viewing from 10 AM -11 AM.
