PINNACLE — On Saturday afternoon, Sept. 19, Mrs. Allie Mae Baker Pruitt, 83, of Pinnacle, entered into her eternal home surrounded by her loving family.

Mrs. Pruitt was born Sept. 1, 1937, in Surry County to the late Floyd and Myrtle Smith Baker. She was married to the love of her life for 60 years, the late Wayne Pruitt.
