SCARBOROUGH – Priscilla Scamman Simon, 96, formerly of Beech Ridge Road, peacefully went to be with our Lord Wednesday Feb. 24, 2021 at the Pine Point Nursing Center. If you see a bright shining star in the night sky, that’s my mother! She was born on Oct. 8, 1924, weighing in at just 3 pounds, the daughter of Harold and Sarah Leary Scamman. Nanny never left the house for a year making sure she survived, and boy did she. Priscilla graduated from the Scarborough class 1944 of 17 students. She worked at Cascades Restaurant Saco with other Leary relatives. She was the baker at Scarborough High School cafeteria for 29 years and worked weekends at Len Libby’s Candies Route One. Later on, she helped her ‘one and only’ (she’d tell everyone that!) daughter at the Blueberry Basket gift shop in Alfred where customers would recognize her from Len Libby’s which was pretty special. Priscilla was the oldest member of the North Scarboro Grange # 495. She was a lifetime member of the West Scarborough Methodist Church. Besides loving working at the gift shop, she enjoyed putting puzzles together, card games, baking of course and seeing her loving family.Survivors include me, her daughter, Gloria Simon Stephenson and significant other, John Brock of Porter; two grandsons, David Stephenson Jr. and his wife Jami of E. Waterboro, Shawn Stephenson and his wife Marianne of Waterboro; five great-grandchildren, Isabelle, Brianna, Sam, Paige and Luke who she loved so much; nieces, Sarah Matteau, Nancy Gower, Sandra Abbott and nephews, David Scamman and Mark Matteau. She is preceded by three siblings, Helen Scamman Pennell, Paul and James Scamman.A graveside celebration at Dunstan Cemetery will be held in thespring arranged by Hobbs Funeral Home. Our family thanks the staff of PPNC for six years of excellent care and I’m sure she is now playing BINGO with the “Pine Point” girls! We all will certainly miss you! Love you, MA! If you wish, make a donation in her memory to your favorite local charity.
