PRISCILLA BERRY Obituary
Born in Providence, she was the daughter of the late Edwin and Miriam (Jones) Donle. Priscilla graduated from Cranston High School and Colby Sawyer College. She worked as a legal secretary for several law firms in Providence and in retail as a clerk and decorator for Matthews Hallmark. She lived in Warwick before moving to Narragansett in 1982 where she enjoyed their home on Pt. Judith Pond. Her many hobbies, family and friends gave her great joy and she especially appreciated those who helped and cared during the many years she lived with lung cancer.
A memorial service to celebrate her life will be held Saturday March 27th at 11:00 AM in the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of South County, 27 North Rd., Peace Dale. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Hospice, 143 Main St., Wakefield, RI 02879 or Habitat for Humanity, P.O. Box 68, Shannock, RI 02875.

I first met "Mrs. Berry", the matriarch of what would become my "summer family" on Pt Judith Pond about 40 years ago. I was very young and she was the most glamorous and beautiful lady I had ever seen and I wanted to be just like her. I watched her sail, waterski, sew, knit, shuck clams, host parties -- basically she could do anything--with such intelligence, elegance, dignity and grace. She had an infectious laugh and was genuinely interested in the events of my life and my childrens' lives. I am grateful for the privilege of knowing such an outstanding and classy person. Lowell, Jeff and Cindy, and Chip Steere, you have all been wonderful helpers and caretakers. I am so sorry for your (and our collective) enormous loss. Love, Carrie Gilroy

Our condolences to Pricilla's family.
We had the opportunity to spend some time with Pricilla and Cindy at chemo
treaments with our mom, Florence at Dr Smythe's office. It cetainly made a difficult experience much more enjoyable as we shared a few laughs together. Our mom, Florence, passed away on Feb 6th. We're clinging to our wonderful memories to get through this difficult change.
Our sincerest sympathy to all of you and hope that your fond memories of Pricilla and her wonderful smile will bring you peace.
Fondly,
Nancy Allen Santucci
