Mrs. McDermott was the quintessential gracious lady with an ever-present smile, brightness and welcoming attitude who will be greatly missed.

She has truly left behind a rich legacy that will live on through her children, their descendants and the lives she touched; greatly, or remotely.

Please accept our sincere condolences and prayers for the repose of her soul.

With much love,

Dear Mr. McDermott & Family,
I'm so sorry for your loss and was so sad to hear that Mrs. McD passed away. I know from my mom and dad has said that she struggled with many medical issues. I have such fond memories of Mr. & Mrs. McD hanging out with my parents on Friday nights and just laughing. She was awesome! I still remember how she and I would go on about the soap opera, One Life to Live and she kept me up to date with what was going on. The funniest memory I have of her is when a character on the show was murdered, I was so traumatized at the age of 12, she sent me a condolence card in the mail. Wonderful memories of her...I wish you peace and comfort knowing that she was an incredible woman who I'm sure touched many lives.
Love,
Terese Gorman Krisch
