Mrs. Prophitt passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on November 26, 2025, at the age of 82 in Alexander City. Born on June 5, 1943, in Hackneyville to William Samuel Harrell and Elsie Odell Sherrer Harrell, Millie's life was a tapestry of devotion to her family, friends, and community.

Millie's warmth and generosity knew no bounds. She was a beacon of joy and kindness, touching the lives of all who had the pleasure of knowing her. Her involvement with the Red Hat Society in Alexander City was a testament to her love for camaraderie and celebration of life. Millie's presence was a source of laughter and delight at their gatherings, and her absence will be deeply felt by her fellow members.

For many years, Millie worked at Mother Goose, where her famous cowboy stew became a beloved staple. Her culinary skills were only matched by her ability to bring people together, creating an atmosphere of warmth and welcome that extended far beyond the kitchen.

A woman of many talents, Millie found solace and joy in her hobbies. Her hands were rarely still, as she created beautiful pieces of cross-stitched and crocheted pieces that were not only works of art but also expressions of her love and care. Her passion for Christmas was infectious, and her decorations and spirit were a highlight of the season for her family and friends.

Millie's weekly card and domino games with her special group of friends were a source of laughter and companionship. These cherished moments will be fondly remembered and sorely missed by her close-knit circle.

Above all, Millie was a proud wife and mother to three veterans, instilling in her family the values of service, dedication, and love of country. Her unwavering support and pride in their accomplishments were a cornerstone of her life.

As a dedicated member of Alex City Methodist Church, Millie's faith was a guiding light. Her commitment to her church community was evident in her actions and the love she shared with those around her.

Millie's legacy is one of love, laughter, and selfless service. Her memory will be treasured and kept alive in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know her. As we bid farewell to Mrs. Mildred "Millie" Harrell Prophitt, we celebrate a life beautifully lived and a soul that will continue to inspire kindness and joy in all of us. Her spirit will forever be a cherished memory in Alexander City and beyond.
