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.
