Darryl Getman Obituary
Sharon (McLemore) Getman was born in Houston, TX, in 1942. Darryl Getman was born in Beloit, WI, in 1939. The couple met in Houston where Georgia Tech alum Darryl was working for NASA. The couple married and moved to Wisconsin, and then later to England for Darryl to pursue his career. The family eventually settled in Queensbury, NY, in 1977. After their children moved out, the couple migrated to Mount Dora, where they lived out the rest of their years.
The Getmans enjoyed the company of their many friends and their beloved cat, Cash. Darryl and Sharon were generous donors to Waterman Hospital and were always eager to help when friends or family were in need.
