Mrs. Prickett was born in Mt. Holley, New Jersey. Always a homemaker, she worked hard to create a loving environment in which she and her husband would raise their 6 children. She loved to cook and bake. Mrs. Prickett made lunch for her family every Sunday, expecting each and every member of her family to be present unless they had a valid excuse for their absence.

Prickett, Sr.; her granddaughter, Kelly Powers Bodrey; her daughter, Kathy Prickett Powers; 2 sisters; a brother; and the infant twins of Andy and Billie Ann Prickett.
