March 17, 1927 - June 6, 2024

Bridget McDermott passed away quietly in her sleep she was 97. That was the way she was always making things easier for others. As a wife, mother, aunt, midwife and nurse. If you think you don’t know her, let’s look at her career. She was a OBGYN nurse from 1960 to 1971 stopped to have a child and went to Dublin Ireland to raise the boy while running a pub with her husband Pat until they sold it to move back where she regained her position at St Francis Medical center from 1979 to 1992. So if anyone was having a baby or born between those years at St Francis and 1984 to 1992 in Downey Community Hospital you might remember the upbeat woman with the accent. That was Bridget McDermott. Her funeral mass will be on July 12th at 10 am at St.Raymond Church Downey CA.
