Please join us in celebrating Mary Pratt, recipient of the Kristina Butler Caregiver of the Year Award for Comfort Keepers of Cu***ng, Georgia 💙
Mary has been a dedicated member of the Comfort Keepers team for more than 14 years, and throughout that time she has touched countless lives through compassionate, relationship-centered caregiving. One relationship in particular beautifully reflects Mary’s heart and lifelong commitment to those she serves. She cared for a client for 12 years, walking beside her through every season of life.
Mary’s journey with this client began with companionship through bingo outings, hair appointments, shared laughter, and meaningful moments. As the client’s needs increased over time, Mary never wavered. She lovingly stepped in to provide bathing and grooming assistance, standby support, and home-cooked meals prepared with comfort and care in mind. As the client’s health continued to decline, Mary remained a constant presence through every stage of the journey.
Both Mary and her client shared the heartbreak of losing someone they loved at a young age. The client lost her daughter, and Mary lost her mother. That shared experience created a deep bond built on empathy, understanding, and genuine human connection. Even years after her client’s passing, Mary still visits her grave and reflects on the meaningful memories they created together.
Caregivers like Mary are rare. She exemplifies what it means to walk alongside someone through the ups and downs of their health journey while remaining committed, compassionate, and present until the very end. We are incredibly grateful for Mary’s 14+ years of service, her personalized approach to in-home care, and the lasting impact she has made on our clients, families, and community.
💐 Congratulations, Mary.
We are so proud to celebrate you and this well-deserved national honor.
