Priscilla Calabro Scovell, 84, of Plains Twp., passed away on Thursday, April 28, 2022, in Wilkes-Barre General Hospital. Her husband, Ronald L. Scovell, passed away on March 17, 2013.

Born in Pittston, she was a daughter of the late Libro and Mabel Gnazzo Calabro. She lived most of her life in the Pittston and Plains area. Priscilla was a graduate of Pittston High School where she was valedictorian. She also earned a Bachelor's degree from Marywood College, Dunmore. Her career began as a Nutritionist in Bethlehem and later at Plains High School as a teacher where she taught Home Economics as well as English and Science. She then started the Culinary Arts program for Wilkes-Barre Vo-Tech, an accomplishment of which she was most proud. After she retired from teaching, she continued her career serving children through her work at Victim's Resource Center, Wilkes-Barre.

Priscilla always remained active doing as much as she could for students, especially the under-dogs, and even did substitute teaching in the Outer Banks of NC where she spent many months in their beloved second home. She was a great party and event planner, gardener, seamstress and cook. Using her talents and hobbies to do for others was most important.

She was a member of SS Peter and Paul Parish, Plains, and a volunteer for many causes over many years.
