Priscille Wylie, 2/21/1943-8/18/2026
Surprise, AZ
The Reverand Priscille Wylie, 83, formerly of Manchester, NH, received her heavenly
reward and went into the arms of Jesus August 18, 2026 with her loving daughter by her
side.
Priscille was born February 21,1943 to Parents Alphonse and Aurore Nolette.
Her education includes a variety of studies – from St Joseph High School to Hesser
College and continuing with her Masters Degree of Divinity from Phoenix Seminary.
Priscille enjoyed a wide range of employment opportunities, starting as a candy striper
at Bon Secours Hospital as a teenager, bi-lingual phone operator, and high school
substitute teacher. She was one of the first women to be part of Digital Equipment
Corporations computer processing team. Her greatest joy, however, was being a pastor
and chaplain. Whether it was at a House of Corrections or a House of the Lord,
Priscille’s heart was sharing the love of Jesus.
She was predeceased by her sister, Phyllis Gagne, former husband Andre
Montambeault, and late spouse George Wylie. She leaves behind her daughters:
Denise MacArthur and Sandra Roy of Manchester NH and Darlene Schmitt of Surprise,
AZ. She was blessed with grandchildren Patricia, Alison, Katlyn Tommy, and Collin and
great-grandchildren Joseph, Timothy, Amelia, Emery, and Ellie.
A memorial service will take place Wednesday, September 23, 2026 at West Resthaven
Funeral Home, 6450 West Northern Ave, Glendale, AZ. Calling hours are from 5:00-

The family wishes to thank Hospice of the Valley for their care and compassion in her
final months.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Alzheimer’s Foundation,
Hospice of the Valley, or your local food pantry (of which Priscille was a strong
supporter).
