Priscilla spent her childhood days splashing through creeks, climbing trees, building forts, romping through forests, and riding bikes around her neighborhood in Landis, N.C. As an adult, she had many passions and interests, including cooking, gardening, spending time with her cats, and watching her grandchildren's performances and sporting events.

David Wyrick) and Carlisle (m. Judy Lee), as well as her younger brother Herman Doyle Lipe.
