Priscilla Agee Obituary

Priscilla Mae Agee

March 11, 1953 - January 31, 2026

Priscilla Mae Agee, 72, of Roanoke passed away unexpectedly on January 31, 2026, at Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital. Born in Roanoke on March 11, 1953, Priscilla was the youngest of three daughters of the late Elwood (Bob) Lee Steber, and Oneda Gertrude Beckner Steber. In addition to her parents, Priscilla was preceded in death by her sister, Gertrude Juanita Steber (1940-1941), her maternal grandparents, John Wheeler Beckner and Bessie V. Aliff, and her paternal grandparents, Frank Lee Steber and Juanita Jessie Tripp.

Left to cherish her life and memory are her devoted sons, Troy Alan Chocklett and Gregory Adam Chocklett, her grandson, Adam Chocklett, her sister, Wanda S. Jackson, her nieces, whom she loved as her own daughters, Angela G. Morris and Christine A. Bennett (Robin), and her great-nieces, Kassondra Ramirez and Alixandra Dean (Nenad Savanovic). Also left to cherish her memory are her "sister" Sue Richards, close friend, Christine Isenhour, her very good friends, Bobby and Bonnie Foley, her ex-husband, Michael Agee, her stepson, Ronnie Agee (Tonya), and many other cherished family members and friends.

Priscilla was a graduate of Cave Spring High School in Roanoke County. She retired from Allstate Insurance Company after many decades of service. After she retired, she enjoyed meeting coworkers and friends on Friday mornings for breakfast and continued fellowship. Priscilla was a loyal and dedicated friend and family member until her untimely death. She spent many days with loved ones supporting them in their times of need. She was famous for her 'Cilla's Éclair Cake and 'Cilla's Sweet Tea.

Priscilla's upbeat and positive nature throughout her life was truly inspiring. She rarely spoke to others about her health issues or allowed others to support her. She would always say that she was fine and that there were many others much worse off than she. She always had a smile and a laugh to share among us.

A few of her favorite things in life included her family and friends, but also music, dancing, movies, racing, and football (Go Vols!). She often shared her stories about getting in trouble with her cousins and her sister, Wanda, when they were young children. Oh, and she loved Sam Elliott!

Priscilla knew she was leaving us, and she told us she was ready. She knew her Holy Father would be waiting for her, and she would see her mother and father again. We know she is happy to be reunited with her family and friends that have passed before us. We look forward to seeing her in the hereafter. Until then, we will miss her every day and will remember her as the wonderful Angel on Earth she was for all who knew and loved her.

The family would like to thank the doctors and staff at Carilion RMH Emergency Department and all the doctors and nurses of the 7th Floor ICU. We are so thankful for the time you gave us to be with our dear mother, sister, auntie, great-auntie, and friend to support her as she passed peacefully.
