Priscilla Talgren Obituary

Priscilla "Pat" (Harnois) Talgren, 87, beloved wife of 52 years to the late Sulo "Bill" Talgren, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, Oct. 17, 2012, at Norah's Place in Vernon.

She was born in Montgomery, Vt., on Feb. 26, 1925, daughter of the late Harold and Pearl (Westover) Harnois. She is survived by her sister, Christine Stanley of Tolland; her brothers, Richard Harnois, and his wife, Helen, of Texas, and Lawrence Harnois, and his wife, Barbara, of Stafford; as well as many nieces and nephews. Besides her husband and parents, she was predeceased by her two brothers, Raymond and Clyde Harnois.

Priscilla was a lovely woman who had many, many friends. She took pride in her home and in her yard. She enjoyed the great outdoors of Vermont, loved traveling through the Amish country, and especially enjoyed her day-trips with Larry and Barb. She was known for her beautiful, contagious smile. Pat will truly be missed.

The family would like to send a very special thank you to Norah from Norah's Place and to the wonderfully, caring staff who took such loving care of Priscilla.
