Priscilla was born on September 3, 1966 to Gilbert Madrid and Helen (Norero) Madrid in Silver City, New Mexico.

She was the best wife and friend anyone could ask for. Priscilla was always ready and willing to lend a hand to anyone in need. She had a heart-of-gold and would do anything for her loved ones. Her children and grandchildren were her whole world. Always an animal lover, her two pet dogs, Blue and Lilly also held a special place in her heart. In her free time, Priscilla was an avid volunteer, forever seeking opportunities to help others.
