ATHA DRISCOLL Obituary
Atha Lee Driscoll met her Lord and Savior on April 21, 2014. She was born in Quinlan, Texas on June 16, 1922. Her presence in Heaven is preceded by her loving husband of 68 years, Dr. Edward A. Driscoll, whom she met on a blind date at a Texas A&M football game. Preceded also by parents, John H. and Carrie B. Green. She is survived by son Edward Driscoll and wife Suzanne, son Stephen Driscoll and wife Kathy, and sons Phillip and Paul Driscoll. She was blessed with 5 grandchildren; Shannon and husband David Bickham, Jennifer and husband Charles Nichols, Kerrie and husband Will Eubanks, Meredith and husband Justin Lowth, and Amanda Driscoll. She was also blessed with her great-grandchildren: Isabella, Madeline and David Bickham; Cash, Jackson, and Sawyer Nichols; Emma, Addison, and Avery Joy Eubanks, and Katelyn, Abigail, and Jaxson Lowth, all who will miss their Great-Great. Additionally, she is survived by sister, Maurice Hedman, nephews Ron Hedman, Bob and Tom Droleskey and niece Susan Hedman.
She was loved by all who met her and she never met a stranger. She assisted her husband in his Veterinary practice for many years and for decades she raised tea-cup Chihuahuas. Many were the times she would bottle feed entire litters for weeks on end at all hours of the day and night. She and her pups brought joy to countless families for several generations.
Visitation will take place at First Baptist Church of Pasadena Chapel on Saturday, April 26, 2014, 9:30 - 11 AM followed by the Celebration of Life service at 11 AM, led by Jon Redmond. She will be buried beside her loving husband at a private service on April 30 at the Houston National Cemetery.

Phillip and Family,
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. She had a long and lovely life. When times are hard, try to remember she is free from pain and now at peace with the loved ones she's lost before her. I'm keeping you in my thoughts and sending lots of love to you and your family.

Sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. Sweet sweet lady. She once told me at the office that she made the costumes and she was so proud as she was telling me, she loved it and brought her great joy.

Dear family, I am so sorry for your loss. What a wonderful woman of God who helped to care for God's animals. She was always willing to help my mom who did not drive with her animals. May God grant comfort and hugs to your family at this time. Dr. Driscoll was amazing, too, and I am grateful to have known them.

Dear Ed and Family,
We have had our daughter/husband and family (4 babies) in our house for the last 7 days and did not hear of the loss of your Mother. We are so sorry to hear this. I thank God for her life here on this earth. I know she had to be a wonderful woman to raise a son like you.
God bless you and keep you in His loving arms during this time.
