Priscilla Lee Boatwright, a cherished mother, sister, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully in Topeka, Kansas, surrounded by her loving family. Born in the vibrant heart of New York City, Priscilla's life was a testament to her unwavering faith, her commitment to her calling as a nurse, and her profound love for her family.
Her faith was the cornerstone of her existence. As a devout Christian, Priscilla's life was a reflection of the love and grace she found in her beliefs. She was a pillar in her church community, often volunteering her time and talents to various church activities. Her unwavering devotion was an inspiration to all who knew her, and her guidance was sought by many seeking spiritual solace and wisdom.
Priscilla's interests went beyond her professional life and her church; at the heart of everything she did were her family and friends. She was the loving mother to Roshawn (Tabatha) Boatwright, Damon Boatwright, Dominic Boatwright, James Boatwright, JD Boatwright, Dylan Boatwright, and Eric Gaylord, who will forever cherish the lessons she taught them and the unconditional love she gave. Her brother, Anthony (Lois) Boatwright, and sister, Yvonne McGee, will miss her guiding presence and her infectious laughter. Priscilla's legacy continues with a host of grandchildren, who were her pride and joy. Each of them will carry forward her spirit and the memories of the precious moments they shared.
Those who knew Priscilla will remember her for her boundless energy, her generous heart, and her ability to make every individual feel special and loved. Her absence will be deeply felt by her family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to cross paths with her during her remarkable life.
Priscilla Lee Boatwright's life was a beacon of love, service, and faith. As we bid her farewell, we take comfort in the knowledge that her legacy will continue to shine brightly through the lives of those she has left behind. Her memory will be cherished, her contributions honored, and her spirit will forever remain a guiding light for all who knew her.
