In recent months, Priscilla enjoyed the worship and fellowship of the Quiet Dell Community Church.

Priscilla was an avid gardener and took great pride in her flowers and yard. She loved creating arrangements for all seasons from the beauty of her yard. She and Olie loved their vegetable garden and blackberry patch and sharing with others from its bounty. Priscilla’s pride and joy was her Home, and all that went on within its walls. She loved having her family and their friends come for food and fellowship. Priscilla loved time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and was so thankful for the years she had to enjoy their extracurricular activities and sharing special days as they grew.

The Family would like to thank Priscilla’s caregivers – MaryKay Greider, Trudy Noechel, and Karen Purkey for their care for Mom and Mimi. We appreciate you and love you. We thank Amedisys Hospice for their care above and beyond expectations. Thank You Dawn, Joyce, Sara, Jennifer, Jonathan, Shannon, and Pastor Austin.

We cherish Mom and Mimi for her Faith, her Witness, and most importantly for her many prayers that carried our family and her friends through Joys and Trials. The sky is brighter tonight with her star shining, and her voice in song with her Loved Ones in Heaven’s choir.
