Mary was born on December 27, 1924 to John and Lucy (Delk) Seibel in Lincoln Valley, North Dakota.  She attended country school in Lincoln Valley and grew up with a deep appreciation for hard work and the simple pleasures of life.

Mary married Melvin Hornbacher on October 28, 1956, and they farmsteaded near Bowdon in Fall 1959. They were farmers who raised hogs, and Mary was an integral part of the farm, working alongside her husband to take care of the animals and tend to the crops. She remained on the farm until a short time before her passing on Sunday in Harvey, ND.

She was a member of Lincoln Valley Baptist Church and later Fessenden Baptist Church, where she taught Sunday school and served as a faithful member of the congregation for many years. Her faith was a central part of her life, and she continued to attend church by watching the Christian Worship Hour with Pastor Salem in her later years.

In her free time, Mary enjoyed growing flowers, crocheting, fishing, bowling, and going to coffee with friends. She had a love for the country and was always happiest when she was on her farm.
