Helen Abrica “Mickie” Moran Driscoll entered into eternal rest on Wednesday, January 7, 2026, at the age of 92. She was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, on August 16, 1933. Helen is preceded in death by her husband of 70 years, Lawrence B. Driscoll, II, her parents Helene E. Moore and Gerard L. Moran, Sr., her brothers Robert W. Moran (Frankie) and Gerard L.

After teaching at Chinchuba Institute for the Deaf for a number of years, Helen taught pre-school at several Northshore schools. She also taught CCD classes in her parish for many years and was an extraordinary minister of communion. For this service, she was awarded the Order of St. Louis by the Archbishop. Helen was an avid reader, crossword puzzler, and an absolute terror behind a rack of Scrabble letters. The family wishes to express its deepest appreciation to the trauma team and the nurses and doctors in the critical care unit at East Jefferson Hospital for the expert and compassionate care they all afforded Helen during her last illness. Their kindness and patience will always be remembered. Visitation is from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, at Leitz-Eagan Funeral Home, 4747 Veterans Boulevard, Metairie, LA, followed by Mass at 1:00 p.m. Former students and their parents, parishioners of Mary, Queen of Peace Church, and old friends are welcome to join Helen’s family to say goodbye.
