Patricia McDermott, volunteer
Patricia Ann McDermott did not let cystic fibrosis rule her life.
She lived with zest and enthusiasm, raising three sons, working, and volunteering. Mrs. McDermott, 51, of Villa Hills, Ky., died Friday at University Hospital.
"When she was young, CF patients were not given much of a life span. But she never let her illness stop her from doing anything," said her sister, Jan Schipper of Edgewood, Ky.
"Her determination and her happiness in living was evident in everything she did." Mrs. McDermott met her husband, Timothy, at the University of Kentucky Community College.
They married and had three sons.
Mrs. McDermott worked as a CPR instructor for St. Elizabeth Medical Center and the American Red Cross.
She was a volunteer at the Parish Kitchen in Covington, serving meals to homeless and low-income families.
When her sons were at Covington Catholic High School, she chaired the student retreat and was a member of the Football Mothers Club.
She was a member of St. Joseph Church, Crescent Springs, Ky.
"She was always doing something for somebody else," her sister said. "She was friendly and outgoing, and liked to make people laugh.
"She knew how to make people feel at ease." Cystic fibrosis affects breathing.
"There's a lot of coughing," Ms. Schipper said.
But she didn't let that get in the way of living.
"If we went hiking, she went hiking with us," Ms. Schipper said.
"She didn't try to hide her disease, but she didn't call attention to it. It was something to deal with and then go on with life."
Other survivors include her husband, Timothy McDermott; sons, Kevin McDermott of Nederland, Colo., Patrick McDermott of Knoxville, Tenn., and Brian McDermott of Villa Hills; her mother, Kay Cassidy of Fort Wright; and a sister, Carol Robinson of Atlanta, Ga.

Omer Lucas Sr., ran airport
Omer Charles Lucas Sr. died talking about one of the great passions of his life — airplanes.
Mr. Lucas, longtime operator of the Gene Snyder Airport in Falmouth, had a heart attack Wednesday while speaking during an airport board meeting and died at St. Luke Hospital East. He was 60.
Mr. Lucas got his start in airplanes working for Boone County Aviation fresh out of Simon Kenton High School, said his brother, Ollie Lucas, of Dry Ridge.
He became a pilot and a flight instructor.
He also became such an accomplished plane mechanic that people brought their aircraft from as far away as North Carolina to have him work on them, his brother said.
"Planes were pretty much his whole life," Ollie Lucas said.
Omer Lucas operated the airport in Cynthiana for 8-10 years before taking over operations at Gene Snyder about 20 years ago, his brother said.
He was proprietor of Lucas Air and a member of the Pendleton County airport board. He was an Army veteran of the Vietnam War.
Other survivors include sons Omer Charles Lucas Jr. of Fort Mitchell and Charles Lee Lucas of Burlington; another brother, R.C. Lucas of Florence; and a sister, Eileen Ehlman of Covington.
There will be a gathering of friends from 3 to 5 p.m. Sunday at Chambers & Grubbs Funeral Home, Independence. Cremation will be provided by Hillside Chapel, Clifton, Cincinnati.
Memorials are suggested to the American Heart Association, 2936 Vernon Place, Cincinnati, Ohio 45219-9932.
