She enjoyed participating in local outreach projects including backpack donations and Operation Christmas Child. She was a girl scout as a child and went on to be a girl scout leader for many years in the Gloversville area. Priscilla’s most cherished role was being a mother and grandmother. She was a mother figure to so many. She had a gift of taking people under her wing. She would do everything in her power to help point someone in need down the right path. She went out of her way to help others and this is what brought her so much joy. Priscilla loved to travel, she loved the outdoors, she loved bird watching, and most of all she loved time spent with her family. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 4 Love is patient, love is kind, it is not jealous; love does not brag, it is not arrogant. 5 It does not act disgracefully, it does not seek its own benefit; it is not provoked, does not keep an account of a wrong suffered, 6 it does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; 7 it [a]keeps every confidence, it believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.8 Love never fails. Priscilla lived each day by the principles stated in these verses. She will be greatly missed. A memorial service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 16th, 2021 at the Emmanuel Baptist Church, 12 James Street, Gloversville, New York. Arrangements have been entrusted to the A.G. Cole Funeral Home, Inc., 215 E. Main Street, Johnstown. Condolences to the family may be made online by visiting our website at www.agcolefuneralhome.com
