Sharon McDermott Satterly set sail on her final adventure on Friday, January
24th 2020. She was sixty-one. The daughter of the late William J. McDermott and
Eleanor M. (Scott) McDermott, Sharon was born on June 14th, 1958 in Newburgh,
NY. She was a graduate of Newburgh Free Academy. She attended Orange County
Community College and went on to receive her Master's degree from SUNY New Paltz
in May 1998. Sharon lived with pancreatic cancer for over two years before the
disease claimed her. Not one to sit around and mope, she made every moment after
her diagnosis count. She had a passion for travel, and jumped at the opportunity
to check destinations off of her "bucket list." She remained close to her three
children, and grew a very special bond with her only grandchild, Mylo. She is
survived by her devoted husband Donald, who carried her through this difficult
time. To know Sharon was to know love and loyalty. She was brazen, bold, and
quick to anger, but she loved fiercely, and with all of her heart. She had a
strong and wild personality. If you were a friend, you were a friend for life.
She was creative and artistic, and could often be found staying up late, working
on one of her many projects. She adored her animals, and will be missed dearly
by her two cats, Fiona and Bob. Sharon is survived by her loving husband,
Donald; her children: Eric Satterly, Stephanie McGrogan and husband Van, and
Marc Satterly; granddaughter Mylo; sister Kathy McDermott and brother James
McDermott; sisters-in-law and many nieces and nephews. In addition to her
parents, Sharon was predeceased by her sister Michelle. Visitation will be held
Friday, January 31st from 2-4 & 6-8pm at Brooks Funeral Home, 481 Gidney Ave,
Newburgh, NY. A celebration of her life and all of her wonderful adventures will
be held at the Fellowship Hall at Bethlehem Presbyterian Church in New Windsor,
NY on Saturday, February 1st at 12pm, with a reception to follow. All are
invited to come share their stories as we celebrate a life well-lived. - Sharon Ann McDermott Satterly
