Betty Faye Pruitt

Beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, Betty Faye Pruitt passed away on November 1, 2025, at the age of 85.

Betty was born on January 24, 1940, to Orbra and Grady (Hibbs) Lawhon in Elgin, Texas. She lived a life marked by love, generosity, and a steady, kind presence.

Betty’s greatest joy was time spent with her family. She was an avid reader and felt great joy in tending to her yard. In earlier years, she and her husband Clarence shared many special moments together with their beloved racehorses. As a young wife and mother, Betty was deeply involved in her community, serving as President of the Carrollton Jaycees and volunteering as a Candy Striper at the local hospital.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 63 years, Clarence Pruitt; her parents, Orbra and Grady (Hibbs) Lawhon; and her sisters, Eula Mae Taylor and Rose Marie Scott.

She is survived by her children, Katherine Pruitt of Waxahachie, Texas; Judy Seidler & Daryl of Arlington, Texas; and Clarence Pruitt of Studio City, California. Her grandchildren include Ryan Seidler & Mariana of Fort Worth, Texas; Blaine Seidler & Laine of Keller, Texas; Weston Seidler & Molly of Dallas, Texas; and Taryn Seidler of Minneapolis, Minnesota. She is also survived by her great-grandchildren, Leo Seidler and Clara Seidler; siblings, Wilton Lawhon of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Janet Dixon of Pflugerville, Texas; and many nieces and nephews.

Betty’s contagious warmth and spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
