Priscilla Alice Havener Obituary
ROCKLAND – Priscilla A. Havener, 76, died peacefully, following a period of declining health, Thursday, January 12, 2017, at Maine Medical Center in Portland.
Born in St. George, October 27, 1940, she was the daughter of Edward and Frances Harriman Curtis. Educated locally, she attended Rockland High School.
In 1958, Priscilla married Wendall W. Havener in Rockland. For over 58 years they have been side by side, sharing the ups and downs of life.
Following high school Priscilla worked for many years with F.J. O’Hara fish processing plant. Changing careers, she began as a store clerk, first at IGA in Rockland and later at Crossroads Market. While at Crossroads, she was known for her dry sense of humor and loved ‘razzing’ her regular customers. After 15 years at Crossroads, Priscilla worked for Walmart before her retirement.
Aside from her family, which she loved spending time with, Priscilla loved nothing more than taking trips to the casinos; as long as someone would pick her up, she was ready to go anywhere! She spent countless lunch hours playing cards with the women she worked with and loved going to Bingo.
Priscilla would do anything to help others in needs. The neighborhood kids always knew where to turn for a place to stay or a hot meal. She was known by many as ‘Ma’.
She will be greatly missed by all who loved her.
