BARBARA DRISCOLL Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Jan. 24 to Jan. 26, 2020.
DRISCOLL BARBARA SCANLON

Barbara Scanlon Driscoll, 70, of Pittsburgh, died on Tuesday January 21, 2020,  peacefully in her sleep. She was born in Pittsburgh, PA on September 4th, 1949, to Eugene F. Scanlon and Ann Boyle. She grew up in the North Side, was a proud alumna of Pitt, and raised her family in Mt. Lebanon. Barbara was a gifted writer, fundraiser, and event planner, but she derived the most joy from being a loving wife to her late husband, Frank "Dino" Driscoll, mother to her three children, and a surrogate mother to countless more. Her one-of-a-kind dance moves, witty humor, and vivacious zeal for life affected her friends, family members, acquaintances, and - inevitably - strangers everywhere she went. Now it is up to the angels to be charmed. May she enjoy an unlimited fountain of bourbon old-fashions in heaven, be reunited with her husband, and reunite with her friends and family who passed before. She is survived by her three children, Christopher (Shahane Martirosyan), Patrick, and Molly Driscoll Nagurney (Drew Nagurney); her brother, Gene Scanlon (Sheila Scanlon); countless cousins; a few fuz-ins; and numerous family and friends around the globe. Visitation will be at LAUGHLIN CREMATION & FUNERAL TRIBUTES, 222 Washington Road, Mt. Lebanon, on Sunday 1-5 p.m. Mass of Christian Burial will be offered in St. Bernard Church on Monday at 10:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Pittsburgh Humane Animal Rescue. https://www.humaneanimalrescue.org/adopt/

Dear Molly, Patrick and Chris,

Great picture of your mom. That is how I remember her. A smiling face and an effervescent personality, It had been a number of years, since I had seen your Mom. I worked with her on the Pittsburgh International Children's Festival. I also knew your Dad, Great Guy. I am truly sorry for loss.

Barbara and I had been friends in High School (Bishop Domenec) and in college (Pitt). I always enjoyed her friendship and her family. My thoughts and prayers are with her. My love and blessings are for her children and family. Love, Irene Regan Hill

It took awhile to review 7 decades of memories; but it was worth journey. Jack and Mike came to SSI for a visit and we went to see Barbara at the assisted care facility in Brunswick. The care giver put her in her wheel chair and invited us all to go to the lunch room. We chose instead to kidkanp her. We quickly reverted to teenagers and id what Scanlon do best. Broke all the rules and had a blast doing so. I can't repeat everything we did but you can guess! This is the memory i'm choosing to savor. Maybe some day over old fashions the whole tale can be told. rest in peace cuz.

Dear Molly, Patrick and Chris,

Please accept my heartfelt sympathies at your mother's passing.

She and I became friends a few years ago, as a result of Aunt Betty Tarantino's insistence.

She was a GREAT lady with a terrific sense of humor and a wonderful laugh. I will always remember how welcome she made me feel in your home.

Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, as you grieve her loss, but celebrate her life.

Eternal Rest Grant Unto Barbara O Lord and Let Perpetual Light Shine Upon Her.

With Deepest Condolences,

Rick
