Marsh (Bobby) and Lauren Candelaria; great-grandchildren Gabriel, Diamond, Mickala, London, Trinity, Katie, Isaiah and Nicholas; brothers, Moises Perea (Naomi) and Carlos Perea (Carmen); and many nephews and nieces.

Priscilla wished to be remembered as being faithful to God; a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, daughter and sister; hardworking, loyal and an unselfish friend.

The family appreciates the efforts of Suzette and the kind caregivers of the Center for Ageless Living, and the attentive Ambercare Hospice nurse, Melissa, and social workers. A special expression of gratitude to Mrs. Miller, Genene and Cody for the decades of thoughtfulness, affection and safeguard watch.

Mom/Nanny, a piece of our hearts will forever be missing; there will not be a day that we will not miss you. We love you with all our hearts — always and forever.
