Sister Maeve McDermott

Sr Maeve, You employed me in 1990/1991 as a teacher of 5th grade in St Patricks. You sorted out my documentation as I was an Irish teacher. I had such a wonderful year with you as principal, living in the convent with you and the sisters. ..Carmel, Eithne, Noirin and myself all from Ireland. You were an inspirational leader..God directed me today to google your name out of the blue as I live in Ireland and have not been in touch since 1991...only to learn of your and Sr Mary Lou's passing. I...

I have nothing but fond memories of working for Sr. Maeve. I began teaching at the age of 22 at St. Patrick School (1985 - 2001). She taught me so much and helped shape me into the educator I am today. She was not only a great mentor but also a dear friend. She has touched so many lives in a positive way. Rest well Sr. Maeve, your memory will live on forever!

Sister Maeve was so much more than a principal, she was an incredible leader, a devoted teacher, and someone who always wanted nothing but greatness for her St. Patrick kids. Keeping her family in my prayers. May she rest peacefully. Class of 94!!

Lovely and loving person. Fantastic teacher and principal. Sister Maeve has a special place in my heart.

Sister Maeve was one of the best! She was my principal for my entire grammar school life. She believed in us and sparked entrepreneurship in us at very young ages. She will be missed. #classof93

Sister Maeve was a co-principal at St. Patrick´s School when I graduated in 1979. Sister Maeve was an innovative administrator; She hosted a group of students from Dartmouth College who started a Creative Writing Class. I was chosen to be a part of that extra curricular class in my 7th & 8th grade year. She helped instill in me a love for reading and writing. May she rest in eternal peace. ~Kimberley Ebron (Gales)

Sister Maeve was the best principal who practiced inclusivity before it was popular. She never left a kid behind and always helped those of us with immigrant parents. She not only helped the kids grow, she helped our parents adjust to the US. She was the best principal much love from the Class of 1994

I was a student at St Patrick's School from 1984 to 1988 and I can truly say that Sr Maeve was the best principle I've ever had may her soul rest with the lord

A beautiful soul. She will be missed
