Ann Josephine (DiGirolamo) Driscoll Obituary

A Century Plus of Resilience, Grit, and Survival:

Mrs. Ann Josephine "Digi" Driscoll (née DiGirolamo), a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully on June 24, 2026, in Doylestown, Pennsylvania.  She was 101 years old.

Born on January 24, 1925, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Ann was the daughter of Joseph V. DiGirolamo, Sr. and Theresa Rose DiGirolamo.  She grew up in a loving family and graduated from Bensalem High School in 1942.  Her life was a testament to hard work, devotion to family, and an unwavering faith.

Ann’s longevity reflected her resilience and steady courage through many hardships.  Like her mother before her, she put family first, showing her love through exceptional cooking, baking, sewing, and the meticulous care she gave her home.  Shaped by the Great Depression, Ann was resourceful and determined, always making sure her family had what they needed.

Ann is survived by her two sons, James N. Driscoll and Gary R. Driscoll (Susan); brother, Mayor Joseph V. DiGirolamo Jr. (Mary); sister-in-law, Helen DiGirolamo; son-in-law, Dean Matthews (Susie); grandchildren Colleen P. Zachmann (Charlie) and Rory D. Matthews (Kristin); and great-grandchildren Oliver M. Zachmann, Page M. Zachmann, and Micah D. Matthews.

She was preceded in death by her loving husband James F. Driscoll; daughter Marianne D. Matthews; parents Joseph V. DiGirolamo, Sr. and Theresa Rose DiGirolamo; brother Eugene D. DiGirolamo; sister Agnes K. Schrenk; and brother-in-law John J. Schrenk Sr.

Ann’s legacy of love, resilience, faith, and generosity lives in the hearts of all who knew her.  May her memory bring comfort to those who loved her dearly, and may she rest in peace through the goodness of God.

A viewing will be held at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church, 235 East State Street, Doylestown, PA 18901 on Thursday, July 9, 2026 from 9:30-10:30 am, with a Funeral Mass to follow at 10:30 am.
