Priscilla was one in a million! So bubbly and caring. Will miss but will keep her in my thoughts and prayers with all the great memories.
What a great lady! I enjoyed the years working with Priscilla at St. Joe’s…….she always had a smile to share, and her number one concern was the students and help them learn. Rest in peace and keep smiling. Russ & Angie Laures
I remember the days of St. Joe’s when our children attended and Priscilla was a teacher aide. Was a long time ago but have not forgotten the impact she made with her presence. She was so kind, helpful, and very good with all the students. Everybody loved Mrs. Neils!!! Our kids sure did. I enjoyed working with her as a parent volunteer at school. She always had a positive outlook on life. RIP, Priscilla. http://storage.lifetributes.com/Candles/new/candle-10.png

Priscilla was a very special lady. I loved our visits and our domino games. She loved her job at school and especially loved children. I will miss her dearly. May she now rest in peace.
Dear Herb, Ron and Tom, Priscilla was the best friend a person could have had in those younger days. She was always so happy and ready to have a great time. While she was working at school, you could count on Priscilla to be there for all of the children she was incharge of. She so loved the little children. She was always willing to help anyone. Her laughter and beautiful face was a gift to remember. Sharon Trewin
