Obituary
Mary Louise Montgomery Pratt, 69, of Conway, daughter of the late Freeland Kyle Montgomery and Maudie Odella Johnston Montgomery and the wife of David Pratt, went to be with the Lord, April 27, 2013 in Searcy at White County Acute Care Hospital. She was born July 5, 1943 in Ola, AR. Mary was also preceded in death by a sister, Patricia Annette Montgomery and brother, Ronnie Michael Montgomery.
Mary was David's soul mate from the moment he laid eyes on her. They married in 1967, and began a marriage that lasted almost 46 years. Mary loved to do needlepoint and her walls were adorned with each piece she loving crafted. Although Mary and David didn't have children of their own, they helped raise many children. “Aunt Mary” was a favorite place to go and all knew there would be something delicious to eat and a welcoming hug. Mary was a homemaker and fantastic cook. She was a collector of cookbooks, but could have easily written her own with some of her delicious recipes. Mary had a love of the Lord and enjoyed many bible studies and her private devotionals. Earlier in her life, she enjoyed traveling and went to Hawaii, England and her favorite trip, to the Holy Land of Israel. Mary enjoyed her many visitors and all felt special when they left her presence.
Mary is survived by her beloved husband of 46 years, David Pratt; brother, Bill Montgomery of Conway, relatives; Eddie and Linda Bolin of El Dorado; Chester and Marie Pratt of Athens, TX, Thomas and Frances Pratt of Eldorado, AR, and many nieces, nephews, and friends.
Funeral services will be held at 10:00 a.m. Tuesday, April 30, 2013 at Roller-McNutt Funeral Home in Conway (501-327-7727), with Bro. David Hatfield officiating. Burial will follow at Crestlawn Memorial Park. Serving as pallbearers will be Ed Clawson, Greg Clawson, Mike Satterwhite, Clay Stone, Danny Bane, Columbus Tuggle, Ernie Gault and Herb Bizell.
