Priscilla L. Ribis, 82, of South Yarmouth, passed away on May 5, 2025. She was the beloved wife of Matthew Ribis with whom she shared 52 years of love and companionship.

Born and raised in Brockton, Priscilla was the cherished daughter of Kenneth and Corrine Fisher. She graduated from Brockton High School in 1960. She held various positions in the banking industry, a shoe store, and serving with the Capitol police before finding her profession as a benefits administrator for the State of Massachusetts in Attleboro. It was there that she met Matthew and their journey through life together began. Just a month after meeting they became engaged with Priscilla choosing to wear her mother’s engagement ring. Matthew made the proposal unforgettable by purchasing a horse named Chester, a gesture that spoke to Priscilla’s love for animals.

The couple moved to New York where they spent 19 years building a life filled with love and animals. Among their many joys was their rooster, Buddy, whose presence brought a special charm to their home. Sadly, Chester the horse, passed away on April 1, 2000, but the time they shared together remained a cherished part of her life.

Priscilla and Matthew eventually retired to Cape Cod, embracing the coastal charm for 23 years. Priscilla found joy in gardening, caring for her beloved chickens and collecting Cape Cod novelties, particularly lighthouse figurines and beach themed treasures.

In addition to her husband, Matthew, Priscilla is also survived by her brother, Kenneth Fisher, Jr.

We are very sorry for your loss Matt. Not many couples get to experience the joy of sharing more than 50 years together with the love of their life. We have many fond memories of our time spent together here in Rochester. You will be in our thoughts and prayers as you face the difficult days ahead. Love, Tim and Sue
