![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Peterson started that legacy with her own grandma, whose home she bought. "Grandparents always tell you how proud they are, and you always wonder is that just a saying? But she'd always say, ‘You're my pride and joy, Josh,’" Pritchett said. Their bond becoming even stronger after his mom, Peterson’s daughter, passed away in 2015. Peterson was his longtime guardian and even at 81 years old, she was his sole confidant. He moved back to Stillwater from Chicago a year ago thinking he would care for his grandmother during the final years of her life but said it ended up being the other way around. She'd drive to the bank and pass them out," Pritchett explained. "She would, even just to be nice, bake cookies that she couldn't eat because she's a Celiac, and she had all these cookies and just go out and hand them to everybody (like) workers. Neighbors believe she was trying to deliver cookies to the driver at the time. Stillwater police said it's the same spot where Peterson was hit and killed by a garbage truck on the morning of April 25. ![]() Pritchett built a memorial outside their home to honor his grandmother. She was known by everyone on the block where she’s lived for 70 years. "I found her (outside) last week trying to chop a branch off that tree because it was looking a little loose from one of the storms," Pritchett joked.
