This wonderful woman, teacher, friend, cheerleader, encourager, made a difference in so many lives! She never gave up on anyone, she looked for each student’s strengths! She truly impacted my life! Thank you Mrs. Prunty, for believing in us! Sorry for your loss, sweet girl’s!
Hugs and prayers to the Prunty-Estep family! Mrs. Prunty was a joy to have as a teacher and cheerleading sponser. We had some good times at games and pep asseblies. Mrs. Prunty greatly influenced my life to be a teacher-coach. She definitely had a profound wit about her. She will greatly be missed.
