Priscilla is also survived by stepchildren, John and Anne Metcalf, Richard and Debbie Metcalf, Marianne Thompson and special friend, Butch Scully, Stan and Carol Metcalf, and Daryl and Terrilyn Twigg; 25 stepgrandchildren and one great-stepgrandson. Priscilla was predeceased by one brother, Douglas Heath. A memorial service will be held 11 a.m. Monday, Sept. 21, at Orland United Methodist Church, Narramissic Drive, Orland, with Pastor Peter Remick officiating. Immediately after the service will be a time of remembrance at the parish hall of Orland United Methodist Church.
