Phyllis A. (Manning) Driscoll of Milton, MA passed away peacefully on November 30, 2021 surrounded by the love of her family. She was 83 years old.

Beloved wife of William Driscoll, loving mother of William Driscoll, Jr. and his wife, Marion; Jaqueline Driscoll Marr; Cynthia O’Rourke and her husband, Paul; Philip Driscoll; and Lauren Dunn and her husband, Scott. Devoted “Nana” to David, Patrick, Molly, Jacqueline, Matthew, Courtney, Lindsey, Declan and Terrence.

Phyllis was known for the love of her family, her friends and her home. A lifetime Milton resident, Phyllis was a cheerleader at Milton High School. It was there, she met the love of her life, Bill Driscoll. Both Milton graduates later married, and raised five children in the same house she was brought up in. The Driscoll home, on Canton Avenue, welcomed everyone. Happily busy with five children and their many friends, there was always something going on. After many years of parenting her own children, she experienced the joy of grandchildren.

As a grandmother, “Nana” loved being a daily presence in helping raise nine grandchildren. Bill and Phyllis, always together, were at pickups, games and family dinners. Cheering on and taking care of people—starting with her own children, then grandchildren as well as many other friends along the way—was something that came naturally to Phyllis. To her, time spent with family and dear friends was the most important.
