Priscilla Erisman

Priscilla Erisman NORTH CHARLESTOWN — Priscilla Erisman passed from this world into the visible presence of her Savior, Jesus Christ, on Aug. 16, 2020. At her side was her husband, Ronald Erisman, and their three children nearby. Priscilla is survived by her husband; son Aaron and wife Kathleen, daughter Rebecca and husband Raymond Adams, and son Andrew and wife Cheryl. Other survivors include Priscilla’s brother, Paul Haynes and wife Gertrude; six grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews. Priscilla was born Feb. 24, 1933, in Keene, New Hampshire, the youngest of five children of Joseph and Esther (Maynard) Haynes. She studied Christian ministry at Trinity College in Clearwater, Florida, where she met Ronald. They were married on May 24, 1956, and had celebrated their 64th anniversary this year. They were longtime residents of North Charlestown, New Hampshire. Their property was notable for the extensive gardens that Priscilla maintained, at times selling fresh cut gladiolas and dahlias. She had worked at estates and farm stands. She also did foster care. She loved animals, always having dogs and had goats, sheep, chickens, bunnies and a mule throughout the years. She also served in the office at Calvary Baptist Church and, with Ronald, led a youth group for middle-schoolers. Priscilla was an energetic person whose activities these few lines scarcely begin to tell. Her spent body now rests awaiting the angelic shout that will proclaim the return of Jesus at the dawn of eternal day. Due to the pandemic, funeral services will be private at this time. A celebration of life will be celebrated at a later date for all family and friends. Arrangements are with Stringer Funeral Homes and Crematorium, 146 Broad St., Claremont, NH 03743.
