Priscilla was a faithful woman both to her family and to her church. She was an active and dedicated member of the Green Street Baptist Church for many years. She took pride in being a homemaker, always providing for her children and later for her grandchildren.

Zahares and her fiancé Roy Morrison of Saco, Maine, Candace D. Provencal and her husband Mark of Stoneham, and the late Kenneth L. Shaw.

Shaw of Westborough, Meagan Zahares of Saco, ME, and Matthew Provencal, Taylor Provencal, and Ryan Provencal, all of Stoneham. Loving great-grandmother of Jaymie, Faith, and Lillian Shaw, all of West Brookfield. Also survived by several nieces and nephews.
