CENTRAL SQUARE, N.Y. — Beloved wife, mother, grandmother and friend to so many, Priscilla T. (Beaupre) Tkatch of Central Square, New York, passed away on Monday, Sept. 25, 2017, at Hospice Atlanta in Georgia, from Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer.

Born Sept. 9, 1942, in Biddeford, Maine, she is predeceased by her parents, Paul and Jeanne (Corriveau) Beaupre, of Biddeford, Maine.

Priscilla, (also known as “PT” and “Pris”) grew up in Biddeford where she graduated from the St. Andre’s Parochial School. After high school, she worked in her father’s business, Beaupre Furniture & Appliance Co., where she met her future husband John Tkatch, who was attending St. Francis College.

Priscilla is survived by her spouse, who is now living in Dunwoody, Georgia, with their daughter Chrissa, husband Gary, and grandson Jonathan Hammond; brothers Roger Beaupre and Michael Beaupre,,both of Biddeford, Maine; and several nieces and nephews
