Mrs. Pritchett was a sports fan and loved tailgating for every Alabama football game. She was an avid Alabama fan and would cheer for them every weekend. She loved her grandchildren and enjoyed spoiling them. She was loved by many coworkers and customers throughout her career of 33 years as a sales associate at Gayfers Department Store. She will be missed by all who knew her.
