Priscilla Mary Colvin was born in Newton, Massachusetts, the daughter of Earl and Mary Colvin on August 20, 1927. She grew up a “New Englander.”

Relocating to Southern California, she worked as a physical therapist at Orthopedic Hospital in Los Angeles, where she met A. Jerome Nielsen, another therapist. They were married on December 23, 1950.

Priscilla later worked at the Visiting Nurse Service in Long Beach. She was active in the Lutheran churches she attended and also became a leader in Questing Heirs Genealogical Society. Among other things, she arranged for our current meeting place at Resurrection Lutheran Church.
