SHELLI PARKER
Nearly 20 years ago, Michele Pruitt dreamed of owning a sweet shop. At the time her boys were young and running around her feet while her husband of 16 years, Don, owned and operated the Car Bath in Athens.
Don was in the process of purchasing property to open her bakery, but unfortunately passed away before he could complete his bride s dream. Their shared vision has finally become a reality as Pruitt recently opened the Bee Happy Sweet Shoppe located on South Palestine, where Bee Happy isnât just a name but a state of mind.
âI have always been about enjoying life,â Pruitt said. âBefore his death, my husband said, Whatever happens, I just want you to be happy. â
