Nadine Pruitt Henry

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of Nadine Pruitt Henry, who left us peacefully on November 21, 2025, at the age of 80. Born on December 10, 1944, in York County, South Carolina, Patricia spent the later years of her life in Gastonia, North Carolina.

Known for her warm spirit and generous heart, Nadine dedicated her career as an administrative assistant at Winthrop University and the YMCA in Rock Hill, SC. Her colleagues and friends admired her for her unwavering commitment and friendly demeanor.

Nadine found joy in simple pleasures-she loved volunteering her time to help others, could often be found shopping at her favorite spots, and had a special love for animals. These passions filled her life with laughter and love, creating countless fond memories.

She is survived by her beloved children, Summer Stowe (Shawn Fuller), John Henry, Jr., Noel Towe (Jeremy); grandchildren, Alex and Jennah Towe; sisters, Dianne McNeely (Steve) and Myra Sinz (Chris); brother in-law, Keith Strickland; nieces, Kim Clinton (Steve) and Nicole Thompson (Justin); best friend, Beverly Campbell; her beloved cat, Jazzy. Nadine's absence will be felt by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.

A graveside service for Nadine will take place at Lakeview Memory Gardens on Monday, November 24, 2025, at 3:30 PM. We invite family and friends to join us in celebrating her life and the joy she brought to so many.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Carolina Place Animal Hospital 8177 Regent Pkwy Ste 101 Fort Mill SC 29715 or Greenville Shriners Hospital 950 W Faris Rd. Greenville SC 29605.

In honoring Nadine's memory, let's remember the kindness she showed to everyone and the love she had for her family and friends. Rest in peace, Patricia. You will be dearly missed.

Nadine was preceded in death by her parents, Garland and Mildred Pruitt; brother, Garland Glenn Pruitt, Jr.
