Today, we pause to honor the life and legacy of Mr. Noble McGinnis III, a man whose presence and influence reached far beyond what words can fully express.

Mr. McGinnis played a meaningful role in the growth and progression of Pruitt & Pruitt Mortuary. His support, wisdom, and unwavering dedication to service helped shape who we are today. He did not simply stand beside us—he guided us, taught us, and held us to a higher standard.

Known for his deep knowledge, strong convictions, and genuine care for others, Mr. McGinnis was a respected voice within the community. His understanding of the historic Fourth Ward and his many connections made him a pillar of wisdom and remembrance.

More than anything, he was authentic—never hesitant to speak truth, always committed to doing what was right.

We are grateful for the impact he made, the lessons he shared, and the legacy he leaves behind.

His memory will forever be a part of Pruitt & Pruitt Mortuary.

💜 SHE CHOSE TO DANCE… ONE LAST TIME 💜(True Story)

A few years ago, a young lady walked into our office to make pre-arrangements.
She was calm… composed… but there was something in her spirit that felt different.

She told us she would return the next day to complete everything.

Later that evening, she called me.
Her voice was steady… but urgent.

“Can you stop by tonight? I’d like to take care of this now.”

On my way home, I made that stop—never knowing I was about to witness something I would never forget.

As I approached her home, the music was loud…
not just loud—but alive.

When she opened the door, she was dancing.
Not casually… but with everything in her.

Inside the home, it was filled with people—family, friends… laughter… movement… life.
It wasn’t a gathering of sorrow… it was a celebration.

She looked at me and said something that has stayed with me ever since:

“I have terminal cancer… and I don’t want to leave this world in anxiety and despair.
I want to dance my life out.”

In that moment… she wasn’t dying.
She was living—more fully than most ever will.

She handed me the payment, smiled… and went right back to the dance floor.

The very next morning…
I received the call.

She had passed.

When her family came into our office, I shared with them what she had done—how she had prepared… how she had chosen joy… how she danced until the very end.

Tears filled the room… but so did pride.

They told us:

“Her service won’t be filled with sorrow…
It will be filled with music… happiness… and celebration—
just like her final night.”

💜 At Pruitt & Pruitt Mortuary, we have witnessed many goodbyes…
but every now and then, we witness something greater—

A life that refuses to end in sadness…
A spirit that chooses joy… even in the face of goodbye.

Some people leave this world quietly…
and some… leave dancing.

🕊️ And we will never forget her.

🕊️ Honoring a Legacy of Service – Mickey Leland 🕊️

Today, we pause to honor the life and legacy of a man whose name is forever etched in the history of Houston and beyond—Congressman Mickey Leland.

Born and raised right here in Houston, Texas, Congressman Leland was a true son of our community. A graduate of Kashmere High School and Texas Southern University, he rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most powerful voices for justice, equality, and humanity.

He served in the United States Congress from 1979 until his passing in 1989, representing the people of Houston with passion and purpose. Congressman Leland was known for his relentless fight against hunger, poverty, and injustice—not only in our city, but across the world. His humanitarian efforts reached as far as Africa, where he worked tirelessly to bring awareness and aid to those suffering from famine.

His life was tragically cut short while on a mission of compassion, but his legacy continues to live on through the countless lives he touched.

At Pruitt & Pruitt Mortuary, we believe in honoring those who have paved the way and uplifted our communities. Congressman Mickey Leland exemplified service, sacrifice, and leadership at the highest level.

💜 His legacy reminds us that one life, lived with purpose, can impact generations.

We honor you today, Congressman Leland. Houston will never forget.

🕊️💜
