Carrie Ruth Pruitt, 86, a beloved mother, devoted Christian, and cherished member of the Anacoco Pentecostal Church, passed away on December 1, 2024, in Anacoco, Louisiana. She was born in Anacoco, Louisiana, on March 29, 1938, to her parents, Gus and Daisy Plummer.
Carrie's life was a shining example of unwavering faith and selfless service. Her marriage to Mark Allen Pruitt of Anacoco, Louisiana, was a beautiful union that inspired all who knew them and lasted for 50 years.
She was the best mom ever, her love for her family was boundless. Carrie's love for the ministry was next to none. She loved her pastor and was always honest and dependable. Her wisdom and compassion touched countless lives, and her fervent prayers were a source of strength for the congregation.
Her commitment to serving others was unwavering and extended beyond the church walls. She was known as a prayer warrior who selflessly put others' needs before her own. Her compassionate spirit made her the first to step forward when there were needs within her community.

Dowden, Rev. Gary Bankston, Rev. Shannon Buxton, Rev. Cole Weeks, Rev. Shane Freeman, Rev. Damon Plummer, and Rev. Les Comeaux.

While we mourn this profound loss here on earth, we find solace in knowing that she has been called home by our Heavenly Father, whom she has faithfully served.
