Mrs. Priscilla (Ora) King Richmond, age 83, formerly of Latrobe, Pa., went home to be with the Lord on Thursday, Nov. 30, 2023. She was active in Exmore Baptist Church and a member of the Eastern Shore Emmaus community.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Paul and Arlean (Kennedy) King; her husband, the Rev. George E. Richmond in 1983; and eight brothers and sisters.
Priscilla is survived by three children, Dorcas, of Cape Charles, Daniel (Jeanette), of Boonsboro, Md., and LaDonna (Angela), of Sharpsburg, Md. She is also survived by six grandchildren, Ian, Haisley, Avven, Kailey, Tahlia Shea, and Andrew; and nine brothers and sisters.
