Priscilla Elizabeth MacDonald

Priscilla Elizabeth MacDonald, of Everett Massachusetts, passed away peacefully at home on January 27, 2026, with her children by her side. She was 81.

Born on November 5, 1944 in Boston, MA., Priscilla lived a life rooted in family, resilience (a 3 time cancer survivor), and quiet strength. She was devoted to those she loved and found meaning in everyday moments and familiar comforts.

She was the beloved wife of Kenneth J. MacDonald, who predeceased her, and a devoted mother to Kenneth J MacDonald Jr., Lynne Dwyer, Kevin MacDonald and Gregory MacDonald. She was also predeceased by all nine of her siblings, including her beloved twin sister Norma, with whom she shared a special and enduring bond.

She loved the simple things in life - a cup of tea, a good book, old movies, music, and watching Channel 2. Some of her happiest times were spent shopping and laughing with her sisters and friends, and being with her grandchildren, whom she adored.

In her final days, Priscilla was lovingly cared for at home and passed peacefully, surrounded by family. Her family is deeply grateful for the compassion and support of hospice, which allowed her to remain comfortable and at home.

She will be remembered for her kindness, steadiness, and devotion to her family, and will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
