Amelia Louise "Molly" Pratt Obituary
Amelia Louise "Molly" Pratt
Charleston - My name is Amelia Louise ("Molly") Pratt. I was born at Old Roper in Charleston, December 5, 1945, daughter of Eunice Hare Johnston and Dr. Edward Wallace Pratt. I graduated from The High School of Charleston, in 63, went to CofC '63, Palmer College '64, and decided I was gonna be one of those glamorous legal secretaries (I mean they were in the "60s) for 50 years along with being a screaming liberal.
I had two older sisters: Maggie Swain Simons (wild woman) and Jo Swain Wright-Cawley (brain woman). I have had my wonderful husband Baird Mallory for the past 18 years (see you can get married in your 60s), and his beautiful daughter (Jennifer) and her loving guy Mark Dukes (Columbia). I have wonderful living blood cousins: Beverly (Indiana), Peggy (Columbia), Jimmy, Danielle, Davey, and Cantey Hare (Pinopolis & Charleston) and friends, but because I am so old I have a truckload of fabulous friends & relatives in the Big Sky.
I moved to San Francisco in 1972 for 20 years, returned to Charleston after Hugo, got a little house, and have entertained and traveled and loved and lost and won. I've taught aerobics in SF and Chas and been a Reading Partner 7 years. I have traveled to Greece, Italy, Israel, France, and Ireland. I love entertaining, cooking, reading, exercising at the St. Andrews Fitness Center, gardening, writing, and attending 8AM Sundays at Holy Communion for my sins.
I thank you Dr. Ricky Albenesius, Dr. Robert Ishak, Hollings Cancer Center MUSC, and Crescent Hospice, including Chrisine Puskar, Merritt Segar, Amanda Dunlap, Nicole Petrick, Tierra Grant and Brittinie Gleason.
In 80 years, I have only had 4 rotten, lousy years. That's why I simply don't feel sad about going to visit my old friends and relatives. It has been exciting, fun, laughable, cryable, enjoyable. Au revoir.
Molly Pratt entered into eternal rest on Saturday, February 14, 2026. Funeral Services will be held at Holy Communion Episcopal Church, 218 Ashley Avenue, Charleston, S. C., on Saturday, February 21, 2026 at 2:00 P.M.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be sent to The Charleston Animal Society and One80 Place.
Arrangements are by J. Henry Stuhr, Inc. Downtown Chapel.

Yesterday
I was devastated to learn of sweet Molly's passing. I met Molly at St. Andrew's Fitness Center, where she participated in my group fitness classes. She introduced herself to me as "the sweet one!" And she absolutely was. She made me feel so welcomed. I loved hearing her stories, sharing recipes with each other, and just chatting about life. Molly was a light and seeing her always brightened my day. I will always remember her for her positivity, quick wit, and generosity. My prayers are with Baird, her family, and loved ones. Rest in Peace Molly!

Yesterday
I am heartbroken to lose a dear friend but take comfort in knowing she is in a beautiful place and smiling down on all of us. Molly and I formed a friendship in fitness classes at St. Andrews Fitness Center. She was so outgoing and knew almost everyone at the gym. Molly was the most genuine and upbeat person you could ever meet and could always make you laugh. Thanks to Molly´s invitation, I became a member of her book club. She was a special friend and will always remain close in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with Baird and her family and friends. Molly was the BEST of the best. May she rest in peace!
