As a lifelong resident of Marion County, Elizabeth loved cooking, especially her famous pound cake, for her family and many friends. She had a great sense of humor and enjoyed making others laugh. She was a long-time, faithful member of North Columbia Baptist Church. For 35 years she served as the bookkeeper for the family business, Prine Alignment, where she was a joy to all the customers and friends that came in for service. One of her greatest joys in life was becoming a grandmother to Marshall Prine Lewis--her heart.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Daniel Sidney and Curtiss Marie Pierce; sister, Sandra Howard, and brother, Danny Pierce.
Survivors include her husband of 51 years, Ralph "Bo" Prine; two daughters, Renea Prine of Columbia and Margaret Prine (Robert Lewis) of Jackson; one sister, Kathy Townsend (Kenny) of Moselle, and one grandson, Marshall Prine Lewis of Jackson.
