Betty Lou Acord Pratt, our Mother, born to John Franklyn Acord and Lula Elizabeth Stalder Acord, in Inglewood, Kansas, the third of four children, passed away on Sunday morning, 12/20/2020, in Boise, Idaho.
Her kindness and devotion to her family as a wife, mother, and grandmother, will live on in our memories of her. She always had a pleasant smile, and would rather listen than talk, and was happy for anyone having a happy moment.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Lafe Leon Pratt, three siblings, Barbara Crossman, Glenn Acord, and Francis Prince, as well as her parents, John and Lula. She is survived by her five children, Sandra and George Nalley, Judy and Larry Dunst, Jay and Diane Pratt, Shauna Pratt, Kevin and Lisa Pratt, 17 grandchildren and 24 great-grandchildren. When we think of our dear mother in the days and years to come, we can say with hearts full of gratitude, as did Abraham Lincoln of his mother, “All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.”

Graveside services will be held on Monday, December 28 at 1p.m. in the Downey City Cemetery.
