Priscilla Colby Carne, 95, went to her heavenly home on Thursday, June 19, 2025.
Priscilla was born in Paris, ME to the late George Albert Colby and Alice Curtis Colby. She was raised in a family of musicians. With music being an important part of her life, she learned to play both the piano and organ. By the age of 16, she was playing in churches, continuing into her retirement years. She also shared her skill and love of music by teaching many children and adults beginner lessons. Priscilla graduated high school in 1948 and attended Gordon College in Boston, MA. She was an assistant principal and music director for Sunnyside Christian Academy in North Rose, NY for many years. She relocated to Greenville, SC and was the office manager for Carne Custom Homes. She loved her family and enjoyed being “Ma” to her grandchildren.
Surviving are two sons, Jerre Carne (Jennifer) and Chris Carne; two daughters, Camellia Darrington (Nigel) and Daphne Bashor (Scott); a daughter-in-law, Caryl Coe; a sister, Dorothy Tibbetts; seven grandchildren, Jennifer Carne, Erin McConkey (Travis), Nathan Carne (Lesley), Cara Carne, Addie Patterson (Cameron), Kayla Bashor, and Michael Bashor (Ellie); and sixteen great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by a son, Stan Carne; and two brothers, Fred Colby and Bob Colby.
