She and Jim were very active with the Cyclops American Legion, with Priscilla providing leadership with the Auxiliary. She sold many poppies and planned by events to honor veterans. In her other free time, Priscilla enjoyed cross stitching, reading books, and was a huge sports fan. She loved following the local kids, but also enjoyed the Packers, Dodgers, and Cubs.

We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ Stewart Baxter Funeral & Memorial Services – Mount Vernon
Priscilla was such a sweetheart. Always had a smile and joke. I was in V.F.W. aux for over 15 years with her. She was such a joy. She always talked about the kids at school. She loved them all. Thoughts and prayers go out to her family. Linda Johnson. Lisbon Mt.Vernon VFW aux 9722
Priscilla was the hardest working person I know!!! Always ready with a smile and words of encouragement! She has always been one of my favorite people!
I have the angel food cake for Priscilla’s funeral luncheon in the oven right now… I just had to add some red white, and blue sprinkles to the batter because she is probably one of the most patriotic women I know… Growing up spending lots of time in the Lisbon American Legion with my folks (Bruce & Gerry Alger) Priscilla and Jim were there a lot too and she was a very dedicated and proud American Legion Auxiliary Woman… For many years she read the prayer at the Lisbon cemetery on memorial day… Actually a prayer that my mother wrote 🇺🇸 and I can’t think about Priscilla without thinking about red, white and blue.
