Josephine Pruitt Trammell

Josephine Pruitt Trammell, 87, of Davidson County, passed away Tuesday, December 30, 2025, at Pine Ridge in Thomasville.

Josephine was born on February 26, 1938, in Pennsylvania County, VA, to the late Robert Lee Pruitt and Essie Jane Reynolds Pruitt. She worked for many years until her retirement from Duracell.

Left to cherish her memory are her children Tina Koonts (Jake), Tammy Trammell (Robert), Junior Trammell (Kim), and Jimmy Franklin (Zoorene); sister, Iva Eanes; grandchildren, Cynthia Darnell (Shane), Emily Trammell (Austin), Amber Loughlin (Kris), Perry Franklin (Heather); and great grandchildren, Paislee, Rylan, Lydia, Isaac, Amelia, and Waylon.
