Priscilla was a member of Gethsemane Lutheran Church, where she participated in church choir, circle and taught Sunday School. She was a teacher in the Racine Public School System and taught elementary and special education classes. She retired in 1990. Priscilla had a challenging life yet kept a very positive attitude.
