Priscilla was a wonderful mom, grandma, and friend. She was born and raised in Pena Blanca, NM and then moved and lived in Santo Domingo, Santa Fe, and then Albuquerque. Her kind and loving spirit touched many people. She was a very generous and caring person who served and helped anyone who crossed her path. She instilled in her children strong family values and faith. She loved to go to basketball games and just being in the company of her family. The love she had for us all was insurmountable and she made sure everyone she knew was told she loved them. She was a great cook and shared her knowledge and love of cooking with many people.
