She was 1 of 6 children and has always believed in making her own path.Priscilla was a very intelligent young lady, even at an early age, Priscilla always made straight A's in school and always manage to be at the top of her class.She was a teacher's aid as a child and when the principal was asked to give a speech at other schools and couldn't make it, Priscilla would often get chosen to speak in their Place. As she got older
her interest led her to work at the Compton Courthouse as a secretary for one of the judges, a position she was proud to hold. Priscilla was a person who would constantly change her path and reinvent herself.Many of you know her as Lisa,this is a name that she gave herself when she first moved to Lynwood.
She made sure everyone knew her new name, even my mom had to address her as lisa. One of the funniest memories I have about lisa Is when our grandmother gave Lisa an apple,Lisa bit the apple and said it was delicious,I asked for a bite and Lisa gave me a small bite. It was good, my mother then took a bite and loved it as well,then when Lisa got ready to bite into her apple again,She started crying out of no where LoL, my grandmother asked her what's wrong?My sister said that I gave my mom a bite of her apple, now it stinks and she was going to throw the apple away. My mom got mad and and threatened her if she threw it away,if you knew my mom, you know that was serious. Lisa looked me right in the eye and threw the apple at my mother's head. Everyone knew what happened after that, but Lisa was a person that stood her ground early on life and didn't mind telling you how she feels.Priscilla Went on to have 6 children And led a very Adventurous life Although the path may not have always led where she hoped, Lisa managed to make the best out of everything, and seemed to gather family wherever she went.
