My heart was sadden when I heard about Priscilla's passing. I worked with her for many years and our friendship continued after both of us retired. We shared so many memories. Our last trip together was to Alaska. I'm so glad we had that experience. I will miss her and I know that all of you will. My deepest sympathy to all of you.

With great sadness we send our sympathy to Doug and all who knew and loved Priscilla. We met over 10 years ago and spent many fun times wining and dining.

Priscilla was an amazing and talented woman. We will miss her dearly.

60 years of many memories; high school, ball games, days at the pilot lake, beach trips, boar and castle, dancing places, visits, re-unions and more recently lunches and emails. I would always let her know when I made Myrtle's ginger crinkles at Christmas. Bobbie, Ann, Kay and Donna, I am so sorry for your loss. Doug and Sonya, Sulli, Michael, you meant everything to her. She was looking forward to a trip you were planning till this covid came along. I was very happy to have her friendship for all these years. I will miss her.
