Born May 19, 1941, in Emory, Texas, Patricia Ann Pruitt became the third of six children to the late John and Jennie Johnson Pruitt. At an early age Patricia accepted Christ as her savior.
She attended elementary through high school at Williams High School. She graduated from Prairie View A & M University with a bachelor’s degree in Library Science. Her professional career began as a librarian at F. W. Gross Elementary and continued to other schools until joining the staff at Rowland Elementary in Victoria Independent School District. Patricia retired from VISD after serving as the librarian for over 30 years.
She was united in holy matrimony on August 15, 1964 to Conrad Mack Jones. Two Children, Conrad Jr. and Lynae were born to this union. Shortly after moving to Victoria, Texas she and her husband became faithful members of St. Peter’s Baptist Church for over forty-four years.
As the scriptures say in Psalm 90 verse 10 “The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength, labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.” The Lord called Patricia home to be with him on Monday, July 1, 2013.
