Memories and Condolences
for MARY ROY

Not sure what to say?





For some reason, Mrs. Driscoll popped into my thoughts today & I decided to google her. Unfortunately, I discovered that she has passed on. My condolences to the family as well as all the lives she touched.
Mrs. Driscoll was my 6th grade principle @ Wildwood School in Wilmington MA. Not going to lie I didn't really get along with her (I now know, it was my own doing). I was so upset when I learned she would also be my 7th grade principle at the North Intermediate. (Thought she was following me to make me miserable) lol
I did however learn that year, she was a human being with a beautiful heart, who was only guiding me to be that great kid SHE saw in me when I wasn't able to see it in myself. Thank You Ms. Driscoll, I will always have the fondest of memories. May You RIP

Mrs Driscoll was without a doubt the best principal that any child in her schools were always treated as if she was their mom. My sincere sorry for the loss, she was a wonderful lady. Barbara Sullivan

Dear Miss Brannon, as you will always be remembered by me. You were the person who loved us, inspired us and showed us what a great teacher was even as a little 4th grader at the Boutwell school. When that year was over, I missed you then. Knowing that you no longer walk this earth, I miss you again. I have loved you and never forgotten you all these years..Rest in peace and we will meet again. Kathleen Ingalls

The Best Principal ever!! I loved working for Mary. She was a true professional. She new the meanings of Team and Leadership long before they became Educational Buzzwords! She was my mentor, role model and I truly admired her in every way. She will be truly missed.
