Elizabeth Pritchett

Elizabeth was born on January 9, 1917, in Albemarle County, VA, to the late Charles W. and Sally Betty Bishop Thomas. She retired from P & J Market where she was cashier and moved to Martinsville, VA. She was an avid reader, made numerous quilts for her family, and was well known for her willingness to help anyone. She graduated from Earlysville High School in 1936 with a class of thirteen students and was a lifetime member of Maple Grove Christian Church.

In addition to her parents, Elizabeth was preceded in death by her husband of 55 years, Cecil Fulton Pritchett; her brothers Charles (Junie), Russell (Buck), and William and Davey Thomas.

Elizabeth is survived by three children, Faye Taylor of Afton, VA, Russell Wilson Pritchett (Benne) of Quicksburg, VA, and Ashby Randolph Pritchett (Lynn) of Martinsville, VA; six grandchildren, Allyson Davies (Charles) of Afton, VA, Christopher Pritchett (Holly) of Fredericksburg, VA, Michael Pritchett (Vickie) of Frederick, MD, Brian Pritchett (Jessica) of Summerville, SC, Mandy Muse (Buck) of Martinsville, VA, and Elizabeth Pritchett of Richmond, VA; and ten great-grandchildren. She was especially fond of her cousin, Alice Wiggle, of Buckroe Beach, VA, who made her laugh and of her children Sonny Wiggle (Nell) of Alabama, Florence Awe of Mississippi, and Phyllis Cooler of Barhamville, VA.

She will be remembered for the unconditional love she shared with everyone who was fortunate to know her.

Funeral services will be private. The family will host a Celebration of Life service at the Greenwood Community Center on June 17, 2018, from 4:00-6:00pm, with lots of pictures, food, and memories from everyone who wishes to share.

The family is grateful to Legacy Hospice of Fishersville, VA, for their loving and tender care of "Tiny" the last four years of her life. They were family to her, and she loved Nancy Anderson like the sister she never had. No flowers please, but if you wish please make a donation to Legacy Hospice.
