She served on the local water board for decades, spearheading efforts to pave roads and install water and sewer lines in the Mirabel Heights neighborhood. Even in her final days, as she lay in the hospital, McDermott urged her loved ones to work on staving off water rate hikes.
McDermott, a longtime Forestville community activist and beloved matriarch, died of pneumonia on June 19. She was 89.
