Their friendship soon turned to romance and they were married on June 12, 1948 at 6:00 in the morning. Her honeymoon by train to Connecticut, Boston and New York City was one of the best times of her life. Pearly & Priscilla enjoyed 45 years of marriage before his passing on March 18, 1993. In 1950 Regis the first of her 3 children was born followed by Randy in 1952 and Darlene in 1956. Priscilla's family was complete and the next 3 decades were filled with joy & wonder as she busied herself with the ups & downs of life. During this period she worked at Diamond Match, Hathaway and finally 30 years at Keyes Fiber, retiring in 1990.

Her family tree continues to grow with the birth of 5 great grandchildren, Catherine & Robert BJ to Laura, Wyatt and Liam to Amy and Faye Priscilla to Carly. Priscilla's best memories are that of raising her children with Pearly and following their pursuits throughout their lives. Her brothers & sisters and best friend Marge Harrington provided her with love and friendship throughout her life.
