Born in Vancouver, British Columbia at St. Paul's Hospital on September 20, 1927, Priscilla was predeceased by her dearly beloved parents, Wilbur B. Scott (1951) and Elizabeth Pearl Bell/Scott (1986) .
Priscilla leaves to mourn her much loved cousins Hugh MacCrostie and Marnie Bradfield (husband Leigh), her second cousins Marsha Bradfield and Heather Bradfield (husband Tyler, daughters Cecileigh and Lizelle), Eric Burr (wife Lori and daughters Amanda and Ashley), Marguerite Csikos (husband Dan, daughter Megan and son Anthony) and many friends noting especially her enduring friend Frances Gillespie.
Priscilla completed her Bachelor of Library Sciences at the University of Toronto and then worked as a librarian for 30 years. Her career started at the University of British Columbia Library but she later moved on to the University of Victoria Library. On retirement from the University of Victoria, Priscilla returned home toVancouver to enjoy the city she knew and loved so much. She was an active member of of Fairview Presbyterian Church. Shortly after joining the church in the early 1990s, Priscilla assumed the role of Church Librarian and with much joy, tackled the reorganization of the church library. She was also a member of Session and as an Elder, provided tremendous support to parish members in the community. In her early retirement, Priscilla also studied at Regent College where she completed a Diploma in Biblical Studies, which represented the fulfillment of a life-long interest.
An avid art, design and travel enthusiast, Priscilla made several trips to New York to enjoy its museums and galleries. She was a frequent visitor to San Francisco where she and her mother, her constant companion, enjoyed shopping for the latest fashions. Other travels took Priscilla to England and Wales, Hawaii, Alaska, and latterly to South Africa, Japan, China, Russia and Ireland.
Priscilla's cousins and friends will cherish the memories of many lovely family birthdays and holiday gatherings that she hosted at her apartments, and later at her favourite restaurants including Seasons In The Park and The Shaughnessy at the VanDusen Botanical Gardens. Always attentive to others, Priscilla was generous and thoughtful, and will be remembered for her care and concern for all of us. She will be dearly missed, though those who remain take comfort knowing that she has gone to be with her Heavenly Father.
