Priscilla was a loving person. Her family was her everything. She was the epitome of a homemaker, who cherished being a wife, mother and grandma. She was a positive light in the community and had a humanitarian heart caring deeply about others. Priscilla had a gentle demeanor and always spoke kindly. She was never without a smile on her face and appreciation in her heart. She was encouraging of people seeking out who they are in this world and supported them whole-heartedly by embracing each person simply as they were. She was blessing to all.
