Kathy Daniels
Kathy Jean Pridgen Daniels, 70, of Laurinburg died peacefully at the FirstHealth Hospice House on July 1, 2020, surrounded by her family. She was born at Baker-Thompson Memorial Hospital in 1949, in Lumberton, the daughter of Craven and Edna Mae Pridgen.
She was raised in Lumberton with her siblings Jerry, Jimmy and Steve. She married the love of her life, Harrison Daniels on September 22, 1973. They were looking forward to celebrating their 47th wedding anniversary.
She was a woman of many talents and had a varied work experience throughout her life. She worked in textile mills, (where she met her husband), managed a kitchen remodeling business, owned a cleaning business and at one time was even a bartender. She thought of herself as serial entrepreneur and had many business ventures from a hot dog food truck to her own retail consignment store.
She always told the truth, even if it was something you didn't want to hear (like how many strokes you really had on the golf course). She was blunt and not afraid to tell you how she felt, while never intending to offend.
She loved to golf. She loved camping, cooking, shopping, gardening, skin care and long phone calls. There was nothing she wouldn't try from riding a motorcycle in flip flops, to trying to hit a 100 m.p.h. fastball in a batting cage. She always drove with two feet, just like her father.
She was an exceptionally loving mother, grandmother, aunt, sister and wife who always supported her family to the fullest. Even at her consignment store she was so generous; she often gave things away that she was supposed to be selling.
Kathy is predeceased by her parents Craven and Edna Mae and brothers Jerry and Jimmy. She is survived by her loving husband Harrison Daniels; brother Steve; sons Ray Daniels, and Lynn Pridgen (and his wife Teresa); daughters Gerrian Pritchett (and her husband Michael) and Karen Gibson; grandchildren Caroline Pridgen and Charles Pridgen, Ethan Lupo, Nicholas House, Crystal Vaughn and Zachary Vaughn; great grandson Cayden; and fur baby Bella.
A viewing and service of remembrance will be held at Raeford Evangelical Methodist church in Raeford, Sunday, July 5th, 2020 at 5 p.m. There will be a private burial on Monday, July 6th, 2020.
