Priscilla was a unique child and also a distinguished person, her friendly personality allowed her to make friends and be accepted wherever she went. She was always a joy to be around and was someone that people remembered for her wit and cheerfulness. When she was sixteen she went to California with her cousin and her brother, Eli. They had stopped in New Mexico on the way to visit relatives and were given apples to eat on the trip. They were stopped at the California state line for inspection to see if fruit or produce were in their possession. Before the apples were taken from them, Priscilla and her cousin took a bite out of all the apples they could and the guards found it very funny. A personal memorable accomplishment because of her personality and beauty was while during a Cinco de Mayo pageant for Morgan County Priscilla was crowned as Queen. Throughout her life she was employed in various jobs to help support her family. She and her husband raised five of the finest group of children found in few families today. Priscilla was a born again Christian at a very young age, and she always loved the lord throughout her life.

She loved spending time with her dear friends, shopping, eating out, and laughing. But most of all she loved spending quality time with her children and grandchildren. She was an avid Broncos fan, and as sweet as she was, she loved to watch all-star wrestling. She liked her coffee HOT and her sweet tooth kept happy.
