Priscilla found immense joy in working in her yard, whether raking leaves, cleaning out flower beds, or tending to her plants. She cherished the moments spent outdoors and loved sitting on her porch swing, enjoying the beauty of nature. Her meticulous nature and dedication to completing projects with excellence were exemplified in her efforts to refurbish the senior class pictures of Eupora High School. Priscilla spent countless hours cleaning picture frames, collecting photos, and planning the display of these portraits. A history enthusiast, Priscilla researched and wrote a book about the history of Eupora, which she shared with many friends and associates.
