She was preceded in death by her husband, David “Paul” Pruitt Jr., her son, David Leon Pruitt, her brother, Norman Lee Perry, sister, Leola Perry Toler, and sister, Reda Perry Midgett.

She is survived by two sons, Jeff Pruitt (Bo) and Mike Pruitt (Antoinette), and daughter-in-law, Beckye Pruitt.

After returning home to Kitty Hawk in 1968, following the retirement from her husband’s military career, Doris worked on the Outer Banks in both retail and for the Town of Kitty Hawk; however, her love was always to provide a home and refuge for her family.
