JoAnn Perritte Obituary

In Loving Memory of JoAnn Dermady Perritte Born: November 23, 1946 Passed: October 19, 2025 JoAnn Dermady Perritte lived a life marked by grace, resilience, and deep love for her family and community. Born to Edward M. Dermady and June Kelly Dermady on November 23, 1946, JoAnn grew up with a strong sense of compassion and service that would define her life. She proudly served as President of the Ladies Auxiliary at VFW Post 3433 for one year, and in 2023, she also held the position of President of the Ladies MOC Auxiliary at the same post. Her leadership and dedication to veterans and their families were deeply appreciated and reflected her unwavering commitment to community service. JoAnn was a mother to JoAnn Flicklin, Denise Ann Norman, and Tillman T. Perritte. She was also the mother of Brian E. Dermady, who preceded her in death on August 10, 2021. She was a cherished grandmother to twenty one grandchildren and over twenty plus great-grandchildren, and a loving sister to Colleen Pelloni, Robyn Clyde, and brother Brian Dermady. She was preceded in death by her father Edward M. Dermady, her mother June Kelly Dermady, her brother Timothy Dermady, and her son Brian E. Dermady. JoAnn was divorced, and though life brought its share of challenges, she faced each one with strength and grace. Professionally, JoAnn worked as a seamstress, where her skill and creativity brought beauty and comfort to countless lives. Whether sewing garments, altering uniforms, or crafting keepsakes, she poured care into every stitch. Her work was not just a job-it was an extension of her generosity and attention to detail. Outside of her professional and volunteer work, JoAnn found joy in crafting and traveling. Whether she was creating something beautiful with her hands or exploring new places, she embraced life with curiosity and creativity. She had a special gift for making everyone feel welcome - her kindness and open heart left a lasting impression on all who met her. JoAnn's legacy lives on in the hearts of those who knew her. She will be remembered for her strength, her laughter, and the love she gave so freely. A memorial service will be held on 4th November 2025 at 11am Summerbrook Church 676 Orangeburg Rd, Summerville, SC 29483 where family and friends will gather to celebrate JoAnn's remarkable life. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to VFW Post 3433 Ladson S.C., in honor of her lifelong commitment to service and kindness. The 23rd Psalm The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
