Priscilla Elizabeth Nutting

CLINTON – Priscilla Elizabeth Nutting was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. She passed away Sept. 27, 2021, at the age of 90, in her home of 47 years, in Clinton.

Priscilla was born to Leon and Edna Cousins of East Millinocket and was a cherished sister to Margaret Cousins, Leon and his wife Lilia “Betty” Cousins and Rosemary Cousins.

She met her husband of 68 years, Chester A. Nutting from Skowhegan, at Farmington State Teachers’ College. Priscilla taught kindergarten for two years before she dedicated her life to raising her eight children: James, John, Mark, Neal, Chet, Bill, Diana and Dan.

Priscilla was active in her church choir at the Brown Memorial United Methodist Church and especially enjoyed her Tuesday Crafting Group there.

This mother of eight cared deeply for her children’s spouses; her 14 nieces and nephews were very dear to her.

Memories of their grandmother will be treasured by her 14 grandchildren; one great-grandson; and four step-grandchildren.
