Obituary
Priscilla Colleen Rice Holder, 36, of Everson, passed away suddenly on Sunday, April 17, 2016. Priscilla was born May 1, 1979 in Key West, Florida. She is survived by her loving husband, Tim, and her precious daughter, Ana. Immediate family includes her parents Peter and Joan Rice; two brothers, Chuck and Chris Ansell; father-in-law Dean Holder; and mother-in-law Andrea Whisner. She was predeceased by her birth mother, Penelope, who Priscilla will be joining forever.
While having worked in her younger years, Priscilla’s most passionate career was being a devoted wife and mother. She was a Mayflower Baby, with ancestors arriving on the Mayflower in 1620. Growing up in Key West, she graduated from Key West High School where she played in the Band and Orchestra.
Priscilla met her soul mate, Tim, at 22 and felt that their stars were aligned as they loved so many similar, unusual and kooky things. They shared a love of renaissance fairs, computer gaming, Celtic music, watching movies, and love for animals. Seven years later, they were blessed with little Ana, their miracle baby that rounded out their family. Shortly after, they moved to Washington State to be near her parents; and settled into a sweet life in Everson, where they felt most at home.
Having fought with illness all of her life, Priscilla was always a strong, courageous and loving woman who touched countless people’s hearts wherever she went. She had many close friends over the years with which she kept in touch, and sowed the seeds of love and kindness in her family and friendship garden. Being hospitalized numerous times, Priscilla greatly appreciated all of the Nurses at St. Joseph’s Hospital and at the Kidney Center, and all other medical people who helped her in her short lifetime.
Graveside Service/burial will be held Saturday, April 23, 2016 at 11am, at Nooksack Cemetery. A Celebration of Life will follow at the Nooksack Christian Fellowship Hall, 210 Jackson St, Nooksack. All family and friends are warmly invited. Donations may be made to a scholarship fund for her daughter at People’s Bank in Everson. “Priscilla, you will always be in our hearts and we will miss you forever.”

I never got the chance to meet you but I got to meet your husband Tim. All I heard was how amazing your are a strong confidant women who can make any room brighten and everyone smile. The things I was told made me stronger in the walk I walk. Having disability’s and cancer but as I got to understand I was able to hold my head up higher. My kids met Tim as we would go to my work get snacks and he’d make them laugh and smile. Every day I worked with Tim and he’d talk about you I could see the love in his eyes and how he’d talk. An amazing mom and wife and person. My deepest condolences.
