Prescilla Stelter Obituary

Prescilla, 54, flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels By the clouds and stars she passed where no one else can see she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting And I know she's smiling saying don't worry 'bout me! Prescilla passed away on September 3, 2012 after a lengthy battle with Breast Cancer. Prescilla was born in Cheyenne, Wyoming and resided in Colorado Springs. She was a fun loving person who had a love for the outdoors, loved the Fall time when the leaves on the trees would be changing, and going on motorcycle rides holding onto the love of her life, Jay. Prescilla had the most amazing smile and always a kind word to share. If there is one thing she would want us all to learn from her is to never hold onto a grudge, never leave doubts, love your family and friends, and leave no enemies! Prescilla lived life to the fullest even in her sickest times, she always was willing and always trying. A devoted Christian, she lived and loved her Lord Jesus Christ. Prescilla worked for Farmers Insurance as an analyst for workers compensation. She is survived by her loving husband and best friend James W. Stelter; father Samuel Sanchez; step-mother Deresa; sister, Pearl Sanchez; three sons, Orlando Ortega, Joseph Ortega, and Dakota Ray Stelter; daughter, Lavada Ann Stelter; and two grandchildren whom she adored, Keira Steele and Elijah Ortega. Prescilla was preceded in death by her mother Martha Sanchez (Vigil). Visitation will be from 4:00PM - 8:00PM Thursday, September 6, 2012, at The Springs Funeral Services, 3115 E. Platte Ave., Colorado Springs, CO. Funeral Service will be at 2:00PM Friday, September 7, 2012 at The Springs Funeral Services, 3115 E. Platte Ave. Colorado Springs CO, with Pastor Paul Thomas officiating. Burial will follow at Evergreen Cemetery, 1005 S. Hancock Ave, Colorado Springs, CO.

Priscilla,
I don't even know how to express the joy you have brought to so many lives including mine. You always had a beautiful smile on your face! You were like family to us and such a wonderful friend to my Mom. You were a true example of what a Godly woman should be. My heart breaks for the loved ones you left behind but rejoices that you are safe & pain free in the arms of Jesus. Can't wait til we meet again.
Love, Chantel

I have very fond memories of priscilla. I babysat her kids and she always made time to discuss how I was, and give the best, most caring and heartfelt advice. I'll always cherish those talks. Being a young teen, she never judged my struggles and that alone meant more than words can express. And I am glad she is finally living in heavenly perfection. I'm thinking of you Jay, La Vadaand Dakota as well. I will never lose love for this amazing family. A true example of people who loved God! You're all I'm my prayers!

We shared a special bond. Prescilla in Sam's arms, and I in those of Gabriel my father. As teenagers we reenacted that toddler photograph taken of the four of us.

Prescilla's last words of advice, were "plan something for the future." Her memorial photograph says the rest.

Our Sympathy & Love.
