Bethany Pritchard Obituary
LITTLE VALLEY - Bethany Lee "Beth" Pritchard, 49, passed away unexpectedly in the early morning hours of Thursday (Dec. 25, 2025).
Born in Springville, Beth grew up in Cattaraugus and later spent time living in Florida before returning to Western New York, where she spent most of her adult life.
Beth will always be remembered for her intense spirit and the way she made everyone she met feel like family. She loved gathering with loved ones and friends, sharing laughter, stories and the kind of special times that became lasting memories.
She is survived by her parents, Marc and Mary Pritchard of Cattaraugus; her siblings, Jacob (Kate) Pritchard of Nashua, N.H., Marcella (Nate) Dolce and Joshua (April) Pritchard of Dunkirk; and her three beloved children, Darnell, Dontae and Iaisha.
Beth's humor, warmth, and loving heart will be deeply missed.
Calling hours will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday (Jan. 3, 2026) at Mentley Funeral Home in Little Valley, with a funeral service immediately following at 1 p.m. Family and friends are invited to come together, share memories and honor Beth in the way that meant the most to her, surrounded by love.
The family is deeply grateful for your support, kindness and prayers during this difficult time.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to directly support Beth's children. Contributions may be made at: https://www.gofundme.com/f/in-memory-of-bethany-support-for-her-children.
