Priscilla L. Jackson-Six

11/21/2018

 
  Priscilla L. Jackson-Six, age 75, passed away Wednesday, Nov. 21, 2018, at Elderwood at Wavery, Waverly, N.Y.       Priscilla was born July 8, 1943 in Canton, Pa., a daughter of the late Clayton and Eleanor (Balmer) Oldroyd and granddaughter of the late Frank and Ella (Holton) Oldroyd, who raised her. 
  Beginning in April 1959, and for a few years thereafter, Priscilla was the Austinville news correspondent for the Troy Gazette-Register. After graduating in 1960 from Troy High School, Troy, Pa., she was employed at the Eureka Specialty Printing Company in Troy. She later worked at and retired from Mansfield State College, Mansfield, Pa. 
  In with a leg brace, crutches and medical issues that plagued her for the remainder of her life; she, however, was not deterred. Getting behind the wheel and driving the familiar and unfamiliar highways was one of her passions. Wherever she went, she was always ready for a good cup of coffee, conversation and good food (not necessarily in that order). 
​   Priscilla had a keen memory and was very strong-willed. Her hobbies included embroidery, plants and fairs. She also enjoyed attending classic car shows throughout the years.
  Priscilla volunteered at a number of facilities, such as the Elcor Nursing Home, the Arnot Ogden Medical Center Robert Packer Hospital and R.S.V.P. of Chemung County (to name a few), and was an enthusiastic reading tutor at various schools. She entertained people by playing her accordion whenever she could, and won ribbons at the state Grange talent competitions. She was a member of the Sabinsville Grange in Tioga County, Pa. for a number of years. 
  Priscilla was devoted to studying the Bible scriptures. In earlier years, she attended Lancaster Bible College and completed correspondence courses through the Moody Bible Institute. She was a member of the Austinville Union Church, Austinville, Pa. 
  Priscilla is survived by her sisters, Alice Truffa, Troy, Pa., and Mary (Charles) Dekle, VanEtten, N.Y., her special aunt, Marjorie Oldroyd, along with many cousins nephews, nieces and friends. In addition to her parents and grandparents, she was predeceased by her sister, Florence Woodard, nephew, Terry Woodard, and, brother-in-law, Bart Truffa. 
  Family and friends were invited to call at Gary W. Wilston Funeral Home, 130 S. Main St., Mansfield, Pa., on Wednesday, Nov. 28 from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. A funeral service followed at 12:30 p.m., with Rev. Kenneth Marple officiating. Burial was in Bradford County Memorial Park. 
  Her family is sincerely grateful to Elderwood at Waverly for the loving care she received and for all of the individuals who took the time during their busy schedules to share stories that made her laugh and brighten her days.
