Title: Jen McDermott O'Rourke/Wolf Whitewater
Post by: MissBubu on January 31, 2011, 09:46:27 AM
For those of you who may have known Jen.

Jen passed away unexpectedly in her home in St. Paul in the arms of her loving husband, Bob. She is survived by her husband, Bob; parents, Jan and Dan McDermott of North Oaks; brother, Brian; Bob's mother, Mary and brother, Ben (Samantha); and numerous loving aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and friends. Jen graduated from Santa Fe Christian HS in San Diego and attended Northwestern College and the U of MN. She was very active in theatre in the Twin Cities and an enthusiastic participant of the Clann Tartan, a historical re-enactment group. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her. A Celebration Service will be held at 7PM Wednesday, February 2 with visitation beginning at 3PM at HOLCOMB-HENRY-BOOM-PURCELL, 515 Hwy 96 W at Mackubin, Shoreview. Memorials preferred.

She and her husband were part of the group I go to roller derby with. It was very unexpected. We're all still a bit shocked by it.

Any idea what happenned?

I had a dear friend die about 2 months ago from a rare and rapidly moving infection.

Felt fine in the AM.
Felt sick enough to go to hospital at noon.
Coma by 230.
Dead by 7pm.

No one saw it coming.

What I was told was that she was recovering from a bad cold and had an asthma attack.
