Born in New York City to parents, John V.  McDermott and Agnes (Daly) McDermott, she was a graduate of St. Jean the Baptist School.

They relocated to Syracuse and were communicants at St. Charles Borromeo Church. She was a homemaker for many years, and later resumed her secretarial career, working for the District Attorney of Onondaga County. Her greatest love was her family and her Catholic faith.
