Dorothy “Dottie” Briscoe, nee Pirc, 88, a former Hinsdale resident, died Aug. 30. 2019.
She was born in 1930 to Frank and Helen Pirc and was a graduate of Providence Catholic High School and Joliet Junior College.
Dottie worked as a medical technician at the old St. Joseph Hospital in Joliet. After she moved to Downers Grove and her sons graduated from college, she began a nearly 25-year career as an agent/broker in real estate sales.

She is survived by her sons, Daniel (Cathy) Briscoe and David (Lisa) Briscoe; her grandchildren, Kyle (Erin), Matthew (Joyce), Brendan (Fran), Kelly (Kristin) and Julia; and her great-grandchildren, Cora and Leo.
