Betty Ruth Pratt – Age 81 of Strawberry Plains, TN, was perfectly healed on Friday, August 15, 2025, when she went home to be with her Heavenly Father. There, she was greeted by her loving husband Charles, her precious son Charles Jr., and beloved grandson Nicholas.
Betty was a sweet-spirited and loving wife, mother and grandmother and will be missed dearly by her family. Betty was of the Christian faith and a member of Thorn Grove Baptist Church. It was surely her strong faith that carried her over the last few years of her life.
Betty was preceded in death by her husband of almost 60 years, Charles Kenneth Pratt, Sr.; son Charles Kenneth Pratt Jr., grandson Nicholas Mueller; parents Arlie and Bertie Lowery; and son-in-law Scott Mueller.
She is survived by two sons Terry (Robyn) Pratt and Larry (Kimberly) Pratt; daughter Angel Mueller; 11 grandchildren; sixteen great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.
Receiving of Friends will be held on Tuesday, August 19, 2025, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Bridges Funeral Home. A Funeral Service will follow at 7:00 PM with Pastor Ray Pratt officiating.
Family and friends will gather on Wednesday at 10:45 AM at Eastview Memorial Gardens for a 11:00 AM Graveside Service with Rev. Kenny Rogers officiating. Grandsons will serve as pallbearers.
