Obituary For Marie Helen McDermott

MADISON – Marie Helen McDermott, age 90, passed away peaceful at her home on Saturday, November 7, 2020. Marie was born on September 15, 1930 to Mervin and Laura (Berns) Olstad in Ft. Atkinson, WI. She graduated from Johnson Creek High School in 1948. She married the love of her life, Francis Henry. Marie worked in the printing industry spending most of her career at Webcrafters, Inc. and retired after over 30 years. Marie and Frank enjoyed their summers camping at Lake George where they made many long-lasting friendships. Marie also looked forward to spending time playing bingo with her friends as well as spending time with her grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. She was a lover of all animals and enjoyed the companionship of pets throughout her life. Marie’s presence was filled with humor, thoughtfulness, and continuous optimism. We love her and she will be greatly missed by everyone she knew.

Marie survived by her children, Sheri Moore and Dan (Laurie); grandchildren, Hunter (Callie), Taylor, Mason (Abbie), Anna, and Calum; great grandchildren, Willow, Rain, and River; and sisters, Arlene (Harley) Frentzel and Marlene (Harvey) Kurtz. She is further survived by many nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her husband Frank; granddaughter, MacKenzie Moore; brother, Lawrence (Marion) Olstad.

Due to the current pandemic, there are no public services planned.

A special thanks to her wonderful neighbors and her loving sisters who have provided support and friendship for many years. We would also like to thank St. Peter Parish for their spiritual guidance and support. To view and sign this guestbook, please visit: www.ryanfuneralservice.com

what our families say

Tiffany Foster went out of her way to fulfill all my requests, talked me through problems I was facing, and tried to make me feel as comfortable as possible when I was a wreck, totally crushed, and I thank her with all of my heart for that.

The professional manner of the staff made a difficult time a little easier.

Services provided for both parents were perfect, on time, and no issues. Brenda is awesome and strong!

Skyler was absolutely amazing. She was so caring and helpful through this whole process. She even went above and beyond to meet with us in DeForest and even to make a stop at our home to drop off or pick up anything needed. While it was a small gesture, it was so helpful and greatly appreciated.
