Mrs. Llewellyn "Lou" Cheek Pruitt

Funeral services will be held at 1:00 p.m. Thursday, March 3 at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church. Burial will follow at Lakeview Memorial Park.

Lou was a lifelong Guilford County resident and was retired from Burlington Industries with 39 years of service. She was preceded in death by her parents, Odell and Margaret Cheek, sister, Martha Howerton, and a daughter, Sharon Pruitt. She was a long and faithful member of St. Andrew’s and was actively involved with her church circle group and delivered Meals on Wheels until her health prevented it. She was a proud member of a group of friends, “The Girls” (Barbara Knowles, Madeline Manning, Mary Basham, Dot Young, Betty Kent, Betty Hollifield, Becky Brackin, Lou Pruitt), who met every year for a very special Christmas party for over 60 years.

Mrs. Pruitt is survived by her son, Michael Pruitt and wife, Susan, granddaughter, Ashley Pruitt and twin great-grandsons, Cameron and Carson Pruitt. Niece and nephews, Karen Howerton, Steve Howerton, David Howerton and Andrew Howerton. Lifelong friends, Barbara “Bobbie” Knowles, Madeline Manning and Mary “Lib” Basham and roommate, Sara MacDonald.

The family would like to extend a special Thank-You to Sara MacDonald for being such a beloved friend and roommate to her and the staff of Greensboro Place for their care and concern for the past three years. Special acknowledgements also to Danielle and Tammy of Community Home Care and Hospice of Asheboro.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Hospice.

The family will receive friends from 6 until 8 p.m. Wednesday at Hanes-Lineberry Funeral Home N. Elm St.
