Jean Louise Driscoll was born on September 12, 1944. She peacefully passed away in her sleep on January 10, 2025, at the age of 80.
She pursued her education to become an elementary school teacher and devoted many years to teaching and inspiring young students. Jean was married to John (Jack) Driscoll in 1969.
As a result of Jack’s career in the navy Jean lived in Monterey, California; Subic Bay, Philippines; Springfield, Virginia; eventually, settling in Virginia Beach, where they raised their two children, Karen (Kari) Driscoll and Keith Driscoll.
In her spare time Jean enjoyed throwing pots on the wheel, tending to her garden, and caring for her plants both indoors and outdoors. Jean also enjoyed spending time on her back porch sharing conversations with family and friends. She found joy in visiting the beach and attending art shows.
Jean was preceded in death by her parents John and Ruth Yeakel and will be dearly missed by her husband, Jack; her children, Keith (Hillary) Driscoll and Kari Driscoll; her grandchildren, Ryan Driscoll, and Sean Driscoll; her sister, Meg (John) Lockard and their children; along with many loving friends.
