Othel was so loving and kind. She was truly loved by all the family. May God bless you in your time of sorrow and just know you now have a Angel in heaven.

My beautiful Aunt Othell went home to be with her Lord. She joined her sister in singing in the heavenly choir and was greeted by so many of her beloved family and friends who went before her.

Othell was a second mother to my brother, sisters and myself. She was my friend and my confidant; my cheerleader and my friend.

My condolences and prayers to her daughter Vicki ( and Bob) and son Ronnie ( and Michelle) who loved and cared for their mother so wonderfully. You honored her greatly.

She leaves behind all those who love her but she remains in our hearts forever.
She is safe in the arms of her Jesus.

My condolences to Ronnie and the Family in the loss of his mother. I did not know her, but did know Ronnie and Michelle and all of their children. We went to the same church together in Pearland, Texas. Mrs. Pratt lived a long life, but not quite to 100. Prayers to all of the Pratt Family in the loss of Mildred Pratt.

I don't think Othell knew just how much she meant to me over the years. When I was a kid every birthday and Christmas Othell would send me $20.00. To a kid that was a lot of money. I tried to repay her by taking her to Hawaii for 10 days. I think she had a good time. I will miss her far more than words can express. I believe that my mother,Bobbie and my father, Clyde and her brother Pete and his wife Vivian were there to welcome Othell Home when she passed from the bonds of this life to her eturnal life with her heavenly father. I will miss her untill we meat again. Love you, Othell and My love to Vickie, Bob, Ronnie and Missy and all fo the kid, grand kids and greatgrand kids.
