Obit: Priscilla (Jo) Valley ... longtime nurse

ROCHESTER - Priscilla (Jo) Valley passed away on Wednesday, Oct. 2, 2013. 

She was born on April 5, 1931, in Berlin, N.H., the youngest of John and Eva (Gilbert) Lepage's 10 children. 

She married Robert S. Valley on Feb. 27, 1954. Priscilla graduated from Notre Dame High School and St. Louis School of Nursing, both in Berlin. She worked at St. Louis Hospital and later at Frisbie Memorial Hospital, following her move to Rochester in 1969. 

She remains fondly remembered by patients and colleagues for her compassionate nursing care. But her defining roles in life were as devoted wife, mother, and Memere. In addition to Robert, her loving husband of 59 years, she is survived and will be dearly missed by her two daughters, both of Rochester, N.H., Anne-Marie and her husband John McKenna; and Joanne and her husband Robert Pallas; her four grandchildren Brandon McKenna, and his wife Burcin; Brittany Dickson and her husband James; Spencer Pallas; and Samuel Pallas; and great-granddaughters, Priscilla Dickson and Koral McKenna. She is also survived by sisters Cecile Fournier of South Berwick, Maine, and Doris Stuart and her husband William, of Columbus, N.C.; sisters-in-law Juliette Lepage and Alice Lessard; and many nieces and nephews.
