DRISCOLL – Isabel A. Byrne, born on June 10, 1937 in Bayside, NY, passed away on April 18, 2016, from complications of bladder surgery, near her home in Massapequa. Isabel, “Snooky”, to her family and friends, was an active member of the community for more than 50 years, but soccer was her passion. She was part of a group of parents who campaigned to get the girls soccer program started within the Massapequa School District and was deeply involved in the Massapequa Soccer Club. She was a coach, a referee and was involved in various capacities with the MSC Memorial Day Tournament. For several years she tirelessly ran or participated in organizing the U.S. Youth Soccer Olympic Development Program (ODP) for girls, North Eastern Region, chaperoning, cheering and supporting rising young women soccer players competing around the world. She was also, at one time, Secretary of Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association. She was honored for her activity and support of girls soccer when she was inducted first in 1999 into the N.Y. Soccer Hall of Fame and again, in 2015 during the Massapequa Soccer Club Hall of Fame induction. Isabel is survived by her beloved husband of 60 years, Joseph; her children Joseph, Janice (Arturo), Sharon (David), and Eileen (Stephen), and the late Michael and Brenda, her grandchildren Kate and Georgia Savoca, Dylan Donayre, and Stephen and Brendan Curran.
