The Village of Kaslo has named the late Priscilla Germann Davis as its 2025 Citizen of the Year.
A news release from the village said Davis – known to many as Pris – received the posthumous recognition for her contributions to the community.
“Pris has exemplified the very best of Kaslo through her unwavering dedication, compassion and tireless volunteerism,” said Mayor Suzan Hewat.
Her contributions included fundraising for the Kaslo Baseball and Softball Association, cooking and baking for community events, tutoring children, volunteering with seniors and helping neighbours in need.
“She wasn’t motivated by praise. She just gave of her time, her energy and her enormous heart because that’s who she was,” added Hewat.
“Her generosity and kindness have touched every corner of Kaslo and left a lasting impact on countless lives, strengthening the fabric of our village.”
The Citizen of the Year award was formally presented to Davis’s close friend, on behalf of her family, during the Village of Kaslo’s birthday celebration on Aug. 15.
The event brought together residents, friends and family to honour her legacy and celebrate the spirit of community she embodied.
“Her legacy will continue to inspire future generations to serve with compassion and integrity.”
