 Josephine
Williams Pritchett McNutt passed peacefully into the loving
arms of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ at 6:19 p.m. on
Thursday, Dec. 16, 2010, at Zale Lipshy Hospital in Dallas.
She showed tremendous faith, courage, and strength since
being diagnosed with brain cancer on Aug. 31, 2010. She was
a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and
friend; she will be greatly missed by those whose life she
touched. She lived a life in service to God as exemplified
by 35 plus years of volunteer work with Child Evangelism
Fellowship. Through her work with C.E.F. she shared the
gospel of salvation by grace (faith alone in Christ alone)
to countless numbers of children. Her commitment to the
study of the Bible and daily prayer were an example to all.
She was born March 29, 1931, in Nashville, Tenn. to Mr. and
Mrs. Joseph Worley Pritchett. A graduate of Ward Belmont and
Vanderbilt University she married Lee William “Bill” McNutt
Jr. on Jan. 23, 1954, in Nashville, Tenn. In 1958 they moved
to Corsicana, her husband's hometown, as new owners of
Collin Street Bakery, which is home of the “Original DeLuxe
Fruitcake.”
She was a member of Believer's Bible Church of Corsicana,
Daughter's of the American Revolution, Gamma Phi Beta
Sorority, Corsicana Country Club, and Garden of the God's
Club. She enjoyed traveling the world with family and
friends and felt blessed at the life she led. She loved
dividing her time between her homes in Corsicana and Ft.
Lauderdale, Fla.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph Worley
Pritchett and Velma Williams Pritchett; her beloved husband
of 51 years, Bill McNutt Jr.; sisters, Catherine Worley
Pritchett and Virginia Pritchett Bivens; and brother-in-law,
Dr. Thomas B. Alexander.
Survivors include her four children, Lee William “Bill”
McNutt III and his wife Susanna Rabel McNutt, Katherine Anne
McNutt, Melanie Jeanne McNutt of Dallas, and Robert “Bob”
Pritchett McNutt and his wife Amber of Corsicana; cherished
grandchildren, Lee William “Will” McNutt IV, Thomas Max
Nygaard McNutt, Rabel Josephine Mae McNutt, Sloan Carson
McNutt, and Alyssa, Nicole and Matthew Stills; sister, Elise
Pritchett Alexander of Columbia, Mo.; she is also survived
by numerous nieces and cousins.
The family wishes to thank all who have shown kindness and
compassion to Josephine and her family during this difficult
time. The prayers of the body of Christ have given us great
comfort throughout her illness. We would especially like to
thank her Pastor, Steve Elkins of Believer's Bible Church;
caregivers and friends, Robert Polk, Anabella Maldonado,
Stella Williams, Sara Nelson, Sid Polk, Raewyn Gain, Minda
Mittlemaier, Pearline Jones, Ella Humphrey and Jacqueline
Williams; her medical team at University of Texas
Southwestern Dallas, Dr. Bruce Mickey, Dr. Elizabeth Maher,
Dr. Robert D. Timmerman, Dr. Josephine Bonell of Ft.
Lauderdale, Fla., Dr. Charles Biltz of Corsicana, and Cedar
Lake Home Health and Hospice.
A funeral service to celebrate her life will be held at 3:30
p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 19, 2010, at First Baptist Church,
located at 510 W. Collin St., Corsicana. Graveside services
