COLE, Priscilla Alden Webster of Plymouth, Massachusetts, passed away on February 25, 2021. Born on September 9, 1928, she was 92 at the time of her death. She died at home on Long Pond after a long and happy life.

Priscilla grew up in South Weymouth. She attended public school up to 8th grade, and went to Thayer Academy in Braintree for grades 9 through 12. She attended Clark University in Worcester and Flora MacDonald College in North Carolina. On April 26, 1952 she married her childhood sweetheart and her brother Bob's best friend, Richard (Dick) F. Cole. Together they had five children, eventually moving to Marshfield on New Year's eve 1959, where they raised their children. She was a deaconess of the First Congregational Church in Marshfield, as well as the pastor's secretary and a member of the choir.

Priscilla worked for the Town of Marshfield as the Veteran's Agent's assistant for over 20 years. She and her husband Dick were active in Youth Hockey and other sports booster clubs for her very athletically talented offspring. She could always be found cheering them on in the stands. Right up to the end she was an avid follower of the Boston Bruins and the New England Patriots. A talented pianist, Priscilla had at one time aspirations to perform at concert level. Most of her life she continued to take piano lessons, and her daughters remember dancing around the house to the music when she was practicing. The house on Highland Street in North Marshfield was the center of activity for her children's many friends, where they were always welcomed, encouraged and adopted as part of the family. The family was fortunate to live in a small, close-knit neighborhood where the Cole, Harris and Osborne family played together outside all year long.

In 2001 Priscilla and Dick sold their home to their middle son, Bill, and moved to Harwich, following their dream of living on the Cape. In 2007 they moved into a comfortable apartment in their daughter Lynn's home which was built on Priscilla's family's ancestral property belonging to the Basset family on Herring Way in Plymouth on Long Pond. Priscilla stayed in touch with many people by letter, sending letters and cards and words of encouragement to all of her many and far flung family members and friends. She is survived by her husband, Dick, and her five children, Laura, Lynn, Bob, Bill and Steve as well as her beloved grandchildren Elise, Brenna, Bradford, Anna, Victoria and Will.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, March 6th at 3pm at the First Congregational Church, 1981 Ocean Street in Marshfield. A gathering will be held afterwards at Bill's house at 652 Highland Street in North Marshfield at around 4pm. All are welcome
