With sadness, because we will miss her and joy, because we know she is in a better place, we announce the passing of Renetta McDermott, who left us on September 27, 2023. Born on August 11, 1944, Renetta lived a life full of love, determination, and tenacity. Her fiery spirit and devotion to her loved ones is truly inspiring. She will be greatly missed by many.

She is survived by her loving daughter, Ingrid Whitfield, her sisters, Leander and Delphine Weary, and her beloved grandchildren; April Brown, Racquel Floyd, Jordan Legree, Jamal Legree, Ilana Wardlow, Shaleigh Bryant, Shea Bryant, and Inigia McFayden. Her family, including her nieces, nephews, and cousins, also share in this deep loss. She was predeceased by her daughter, Jacqueline Legree, her parents, Fannie and Jim Weary, and her siblings Lena Pigott, Augustine Robinson, Lealer Weary, Mildren McCann, Helen Weary, and Elton Weary.

Renetta was a proud attendee of the Church of the Latter Rain at Stockbridge, GA. Her faith was a significant part of her life, influencing many of her hobbies and interests. She enjoyed simple pleasures like reading her favorite book, The Bible, listening to Songs of the Saints, and participating in church activities. Additionally, she appreciated watching cooking or building shows, playing cards, and taking long walks. Her favorite foods were wholesome vegetables, and her preferred drink was water. Her causes of interest primarily revolved around the Church. Renetta had a soft spot for the colors teal and green.

Described as loving, determined, fiery, and devoted, Renetta's personality left a lasting impression on everyone she met. One of her greatest accomplishments was graduating college, which showcased her strong will and determination. Yet, the best lesson she had to share was "GOD first," reminding everyone of the importance of faith in her life.
