Mrs. Horn was born in 1918 in Canon City, Colo. At the age of five her parents moved back to the Crockett family farm near Marshall, Mo. Lula was raised on that farm and helped her family run the Crockett dairy. She graduated from Missouri Valley College before teaching school.

After moving to Kansas City in the late 1950’s, she returned to teaching at Center Jr. High School. While teaching there she obtained her MA from Missouri State University at Warrensburg.
She enjoyed retirement in her hometown of Marshall, where she participated in the life of the First Presbyterian Church, PEO, and the activities of the Missouri Valley College Alumni.
