HARRISON — Louise Worthingto­n

-

Pruitt was born on June 18, 1921. She left us March 14, 2024, but she has not left our hearts. She is survived by her three sons and their wives: Jonah and Judy of Coral Gables, Fla.; David and Angie of Indianapol­is, Ind.; Don and Vanessa of Destin, Fla. There are four grandchild­ren, Stephen Pruitt, Michelle Piedmont, Alan Pruitt, and Anne McGrath and eight great-grandchild­ren, Alex, Andrew, Jackson, Dylan, Isabel, Cora, Nova, and Maeve that were able to know their beloved “GG Weese”. Sally and Bill Merck of Plano, Texas, and Janie and Jim Jones of Benton, Ark. Louise was preceded in death by her husband Jonah Pruitt and her brother Rodney. Louise was the daughter of Rex and Lillian (Hull) Worthingto­n of Harrison, Ark., where Rex had been Mayor from 1932 -1938. Louise graduated from Harrison High School in 1939 and was a member of the Pep-Rett social club where she had life-long friendship­s. She raised her family in Little Rock until 2011 when she moved to Indianapol­is. Louise was a long-time member of the First Christian Church in Little Rock where she and her husband were counselors with the youth groups for many years.

Louise will be buried at Maplewood Cemetery in Harrison, Ark., Tuesday in a private family service. There will be a Celebratio­n of her Life in Little Rock on Wednesday. Weese was a breast cancer survivor and we ask that donations in her memory may be made to the Susan

G. Komen Cancer Foundation. She was a beautiful, sweet, kind woman who loved all and was always loved.
