AMHERST, Victoria C. Pratt, 95, life-long resident of Amherst, died Saturday, Nov. 21, 2015 at the Center for Extended Care at Amherst. Vicki was born in Amherst, daughter of the late Charles, and Blanche {Ciesluk} Ryznic. She attended Amherst Schools and for her whole life was the designated baby sitter for her entire family along with the Lashway family and any other of the local, Cushman Village people. She cherished this role in life, as much as she did her beloved Red Sox. She watched the Sox games faithfully; even when they were on the west coast she would watch them the following day on tape. She was a communicant of St. Brigid’s Church. Her husband Harold Pratt died in 1995, and also was pre-deceased by an infant daughter Linda, four brothers, and three sisters. She is survived by two daughters, Teresa Pratt of Amherst, and Ann, and her husband Robert MacDonald of Leverett. Also, four grandchildren; Michael Keyes, Jessica Lamson, Kim and Shawn MacDonald, and five great-grandsons. Funeral services will be Saturday, at 9:00AM from the Douglass Funeral Service, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 10:00 in St. Brigid’s Church. Burial follows in St. Brigid Cemetery. Calling hours will be Friday from 5:00 – 7:00 PM at The Douglass Funeral Home. Obituary and register at www.douglassfuneral.com
