Deborah Rene Prickett

Mrs. Prickett entered into heaven Tuesday, June 24, 2025 at the Bethany House in Auburn, Alabama. She was born on June 5, 1954 in Alexander City, Alabama to Cecil and Lorine. She was known to so many by several different names. Wife, as Wayne would say. Momma or Mother by her children. Mawmaw by her grandchildren, great grandchildren, and all children who entered their home. Mrs. Deborah by her co-workers and students. Mrs. Prickett is a retiree of Auburn University. She also wears the title of First Lady to the Three Pines Independent Church congregation, where her husband is the pastor. Sometimes she was called Sister and Debba or Deb.

Mrs. Prickett is best described as a Proverbs 31 woman. She had more grace and love than anyone. She was a faithful wife and a loving and forgiving mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. In a house divided, she was the Auburn fan. She enjoyed spending time with family, walking on the beach, taking care of grandchildren, playing the piano, and serving alongside her husband in ministry. She loved God most of all and it showed through her faithful walk with the Lord. During her journey with Parkinson’s, she never stopped believing in the promises of God.

She is survived by her husband of 52 years, Rev. Billy “Wayne” Prickett of Opelika; Children: Tina Prickett, Michael Prickett, and Tanya (Daryl) Guess; Grandchildren: Justice, Carly, Spencer, Gavin (Ansli), Miracle (Jordan); Great Grandchildren: Jase, Aliyah, Collins; Brothers: Jimmy (Sharon) Daugherty, Mack (Mary) Daugherty, Steve Daugherty; and many beloved nieces, nephews, cousins, and in-laws. She also had a wonderful faithful family friend, Gloria Wallace.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Cecil Daughtry and Lorine (Clyde) Ray and daughter-in-law Colleen Prickett.

A funeral service for Mrs. Prickett will be held Thursday, June 26, 2025 at 1:00 p.m. at Jeffcoat-Trant Funeral Home. A visitation will be held the prior evening, Wednesday, June 25, 2025 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Jeffcoat-Trant Funeral Home.
