Eva Mae Winn Pruitt

February 27, 1932 — November 6, 2023

Eva Mae Winn Pruitt, age 91, a resident of Columbia, passed away on Monday, November 6, 2023, at her residence.

A funeral service will be held on Saturday, November 11, 2023, at 12:00 PM at Heritage Funeral Home with Pastor Jim Ledbetter officiating. Following the service, she will be laid to rest in Rose Hill Cemetery. A visitation will also be held on Saturday from 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM at the funeral home. Heritage Funeral Home is assisting the family with arrangements.

Eva was born on February 27, 1932, in Maury County, Tennessee, and was the daughter of the late Willie Winn and the late Ruby Watson Winn. She worked in the cutting room for Tennessee Knitting Mills for several years and later for Weather Tamer for many years. She later worked at Gibson’s Department Store before their closure. Eva took great pride in keeping her home clean and enjoyed solving word search puzzles. Her leisure time often involved watching television game shows such as Wheel of Fortune and The Price is Right. However, her deepest love was reserved for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Eva's faith was an essential part of her life, and she was a dedicated member of Liberty Baptist Church.

She is survived by her son, Wayne (Joanne) Pruitt of Columbia, daughter, Brenda (James) Glenn of Columbia, grandchildren, Melissa Glenn of Lewisburg, Brandon Pruitt of Alabama, Jennifer (Larry) Jennette of Columbia, Daniel (Jessica) Pruitt of Knoxville, great grandchildren, Walter Pruitt of Alabama, Cassidy Jennette of Columbia, Warren Pruitt of Alabama, Rheagan Jennette of Columbia, Adalyn Pruitt of Knoxville, and Lincoln Pruitt of Knoxville, and sisters in law, Mary Winn and Betty Pruitt.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Walter Vernon Pruitt on November 21, 2022, son, Marshall Glen Pruitt, and siblings, J.G. Winn, William Earl Winn, Thomas Winn, and Jo Ann Winn Lane.

Pallbearers will be Brandon Pruitt, Daniel Pruitt, Johnny Ray Winn, Gary Pruitt, Kerry Pruitt, and David Pruitt. Honorary pallbearers will include members of Liberty Baptist Church.

The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Richard Douglas Kennedy and the compassionate nurses and staff of Gentiva Hospice for their exceptional care of their beloved mother.
