Ann Evans Driscoll

Ann Evans Driscoll passed away Sunday, April 21.  She was born Oct. 3, 1915, in Bozeman to Philip and Etta (Pearson) Evans. She attended Bozeman Public Schools and graduated from Gallatin County High School. She then went on to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Education at Montana State Normal School in Dillon in 1940. Ann served our country in the U.S. Army in 1943. Throughout her teaching career she taught in Springhill, Dodson, Charlo and Ronan. Her most rewarding teaching experiences were when she taught remedial reading, both in Ronan and Charlo schools. She was also very active in PTA, Delta Kappa Gamma, the garden club and D’Aste Women’s Club. Ann was a life-long teacher – she volunteered to help children read during her summers off as a young teacher and told her Hospice nurses never to stop learning during her final days. She will also be remembered for being a great parent to her children and wonderful grandmother to her grandchildren. Ann was preceded in death by her husband, Lawrence, her parents, two brothers and two sisters. She is survived by: her son Phil Driscoll of Madison, Wis.; son Jerry (Nancy) Driscoll of Bozeman; daughter Barbara Driscoll of Bozeman; foster son Joe Tejeda of California; foster daughter Martha Tejeda Castillo of Florida; sister Janet Edens of Peoria, Ariz.; three grandchildren; and one great-grandchild, as well as nieces and nephews on both sides of the family. Memorials may be made in Ann’s name to Hospice of Southwest Montana, 3810 Valley Commons Dr., Bozeman, MT 59718. A memorial service is planned for July 6, 2013, at 10 a.m. at the St. Ignatius Catholic Cemetery. Condolences and memories may be shared with the family at www.dahlcares.com.
