Our sincere condolences to the Quealy family. I spent a large part of my childhood at the family home. The Quealy family treated me like one of their own. Matt and I attended Great Oak School together, and Mark and I are still great friends. How Mrs. Quealy was able to keep the family together through thick and thin is a true testament to her strength and sense of family. I’m sure it was not easy, but she was the glue like no other. She will be missed but never forgotten. Thanks for all the meals Mrs. Quealy!

So sorry for your loss Mark. Lorraine and I are happy that we got to meet her while she was well. She was delightful, spirited and so cheerful. She adored you. Rest in Peace dear Priscilla
Anne and I got to meet and visit with Priscilla during her visits to Pawleys during the last two years. What a fun lady. Her legacy is her children and the love they have for her. Mark, we are so sorry for your family’s loss, but as we discussed, she is in a better place now. May God bless her soul and comfort family and friends knowing it was a life well lived.
Mark, our hearts break for you on the passing of your mother, Priscilla. There are no words to share that will ease your sadness now. But we know that beautiful and loving memories will be with you the rest of your life, your mother’s everlasting gift to a devoted son. Our sincerest condolences dear neighbor and friend. Greg & Judy
To Priscilla’s family
My mother,Mary Boylen just saw your mother’s notice in the paper. They had such great times traveling with the Wilmington senior center and the Recreation department. My mother really enjoyed her company and liked her very much. She had nice visits in her home and always raved about the luncheon decor. She’s going to miss your mother very much. Although she wasn’t able to visit recently she called every once in a while to check on her. We hope that the memories you have in your heart will help you all through this difficult time.

Priscilla was a bright light in our neighborhood and I always loved our mid-street talks. A time that makes me smile is when I realized that I had been calling her “Patricia” instead her actual name. I was mortified and she just laughed it off and said, “I knew what you meant.” She was the sweetest, kindest, most lovely human I’ve had the pleasure to know. She is already missed. Wishing your family peace and healing.
