Serenity Funeral Home Obituaries New Albany Ms: Remembering Hugh Wesley Pratt

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Hugh Wesley Pratt, a beloved member of our community in New Albany, Mississippi. He left an indelible mark on the lives of those who knew him, and his legacy will be remembered for years to come.

Hugh was born on 'birth date' to John Alton Pratt and Annie B. Pratt, and he grew up in New Albany, MS. He was a proud resident of this community for most of his life, where he built strong relationships with family, friends, and fellow church members.

Hugh loved cars, especially his red Grand Prix, which brought him joy and excitement wherever he went. His passion for life extended beyond his hobbies to his dedication to helping others. He served as a member of the New Albany Concerned Veterans group, where he held an officer position, and regularly visited nursing homes to share his time and kindness.

He was also an employee of Futorian (Mohasco) Furniture for 41 years, demonstrating his commitment to hard work and loyalty. His love for his community was evident in his involvement with Union Grove Baptist Church, where he was a devoted member and supported the youth group.

Hugh's faith played a significant role in his life, as he accepted Christ at an early age at Union Grove M.B. He reaffirmed his faith on December 19, 2023, which gave him peace and comfort throughout his journey.

On 'death date', Hugh gained his wings after fighting with courage and keeping his faith until the end of his battle with illness. His love for life was evident in the way he lived, and we are grateful to have had him by our side for so long.

Hugh is survived by his son Anthony Rutherford of Blue Mountain, MS; two sisters Sarah Ruth Graham and Sarah C. Pratt; brother Johnny Pratt; nephew Climmie Graham; niece Alyia Graham; close friends Charles 'Chuckie' Rutherford and Harry Spears; and a host of other family members, including uncles, aunt, nieces, nephews, cousins, and many dear friends in the community.

His funeral service will be held on Thursday, December 28, 2023, at 1:00 p.m., at Union Grove M.B. Church, with visitation preceding the service at 10:30 a.m. Burial will take place at Union Prospect Cemetery, Union Tippah Line.
