Marilyn Pratt

June 4, 1941 – April 9, 2025

Marilyn Pratt, 83, of Maricopa, Arizona died peacefully Wednesday, April 9, 2025 at Abrazos Central Medical Center, Phoenix, Arizona.

Marilyn was born June 4, 1941, in Queens, New York to Adam and Sophie Hahn. Marilyn spent her younger years in New York and moved to Arizona over 50 years ago. She made her way through the state living in Kingman, Buckeye, Phoenix, and eventually settled in Maricopa. Marilyn married her husband Edward Pratt, January 29, 1998, where they lived a peaceful life on the Pratt family farm.

A lover of family, animals, children and neighbors, Marilyn lived her life to the absolute fullest. Whether you met her friendly face purchasing hay, honey, eggs or her latest merchandise, she loved a good conversation. Her willingness to try anything led her to loving the farm life, from baling hay to working cattle, or feeding a crew, a helping hand was always there.

Marilyn is survived by her husband Edward, son Derek Bassett, and grandson Dalton Bassett; stepson Loren (Joanne) Pratt, stepdaughters Debbie (David) Metz and Mary Ann Pratt; siblings Valerie Payton, Hilary Petith, Randall Hahn and Gregory Hahn; along with nieces and nephews, step-grand and great-grandchildren, all whom loved her dearly.

In honoring her final wishes, there will be no funeral services. In lieu of flowers, and carrying on with her philanthropic nature, donations can be made to Maricopa Pantry (www.maricopapantry.org).
