Mary Jane "Mj" Driscoll

Mary Jane Driscoll passed away peacefully on July 12, 2025, at Valley Manor Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Coopersburg, PA, where she had been a long-time resident. She truly appreciated her caretakers there and remarked many times that they were "precious." Born in Easton, PA in 1931, she was raised in Bethlehem, PA by her aunt Esther and her uncle Ralph Springer, Sr. following the passing of her mother shortly after her birth. As a child, she loved spending time with her cat Grumpy and playing in the Nisky Hill Cemetery with her cousin Ralph, Jr. whom she considered her brother and loved dearly. She graduated from Bethlehem High School and attended Moravian College. She was passionate about music of all genres and eras, and like her birth father, she enjoyed playing the piano. As a young woman, she had an eye for tasteful fashion and took pleasure in posing for the camera in her demure and sophisticated attire. She was married to the late George C. Driscoll, Jr., the father of her children, for 21 years. She cherished motherhood and inspired her daughters to appreciate music and value education. Throughout her life, she loved God and was always seeking a deeper understanding and to know him better. Although internal challenges prevented her from experiencing some of the fullness of life, in her later years she brought joy to all those around her and exuded happiness. She was preceded in death by her mother Ellen and her father Joseph, her aunt Esther and Uncle Ralph, Sr., her siblings Joseph, William, Charles, Esther and Robert, her cousin(brother) Ralph, Jr. and her cousins Althea and Eldridge whom she considered her sister and brother. She was blessed to have the constant love and support of all her siblings and cousins throughout their lives. She is survived by her daughters Jean Esther Driscoll (Brian Sangeorzan) and Diane Margaret Driscoll, as well as many nieces and nephews and their children and grandchildren. A private cremation has taken place, and her daughters will honor her memory and scatter her ashes in places that were meaningful to her at a later date.
