Mrs. Prater was born in Hamadan, Iran, on September 7, 1937. She began her nursing education at age 17 at the American university in Tabriz, Iran, before attending the Christian Medical Center in Vellore, India, for graduate school. Her nursing career spanned 50 years until she retired from the NICU unit at Summit Hospital in Hermitage, Tennessee. She had cared for numerous special-care infants and “loved her babies.” She was also devoted to her faith and to her family, especially her grandchildren. In her care of these babies and others, it was sometimes said that she had a private line to God. Her family definitely agrees.
