Priscilla M. Cota

Her parents, Alfred and Genevieve (Cota) Shackett, welcomed their daughter into the world on February 24, 1943, in Keene, NH.

Priscilla had a huge place in her heart for everyone that she met, enjoying many conversations with them, having a great love for all, and a genuine love of life! She enjoyed arts and crafts and had a special talent for stamp cross-stich, making blankets for all of her nieces and nephews, gifts that they will always treasure.

She loved animals of all kinds, as well as tending to her floral gardens and nurturing their beauty. She loved taking long walks on the beach; loved holidays, especially Christmas; and was an avid Red Sox fan.

For many years, Priscilla looked forward to her days at the Castle Center in Keene, where she could talk with many of her friends there, and work on many of her arts and crafts projects together with them.

Priscilla is survived by her brother, Dennis Shackett and his wife, Debra, of Troy; her nieces and nephews, Mark and Lynne Shackett of Troy, Dennis Shackett, Jr. of Keene; her great-nieces and great-nephews, Alexander Shackett, Kylee Shackett, Evan Shackett, Tyler Shackett, Shariah Shackett; and many extended family members and friends. Her father, Alfred Shackett, and her mother, Genevieve Fifield, predeceased her.

Family and friends are invited to call on Monday evening, August 1, 2022 from 4:00 to 6:00PM at the Foley Funeral Home, 49 Court Street, Keene. A graveside service will be held on Tuesday, August 2nd at 11:00AM in Mt. Carmel Cemetery, Old Marlborough Road, Troy.

In lieu of flowers, for those who wish, donations may be made in Ms. Cota’s memory to the Castle Center, c/o Home Healthcare Hospice and Community Services, 312 Marlboro Street, PO Box 564, Keene, NH 03431.
