Priscilla E. (Boggs) Killian, a long time resident of Acton, passed away Tuesday, February 2, 2021. She was 87 years old. She was the beloved wife of John D. Killian to whom she was married for 64 years.
Mrs. Killian was born in Worcester in 1933 to the late George and Myrtle (Ridyard) Boggs. She was married to her husband John in 1957 and they settled in Acton where they raised their family. A longtime member of St. Matthews United Methodist Church, she spent many years singing with the choir. Mrs. Killian enjoyed time spent at the ocean, especially at the Corinthian Yacht Club in Marblehead where they spent many summer days. She was proud of her garden and loved to cook for family and friends. More than anything, she enjoyed time with her family, especially for a special occasion at the Wayside Inn. She will be missed dearly by her family and friends.
