Lottie McDermott

Secretary of the Board

 
Lottie began attending RCCC in February in 2021.  She had been looking for a church that believed the Bible is the inspired Word of God and a Church that actually studied the Bible. The welcoming atmosphere of the congregation made it easy to stay.  Lottie and Brian have been married for 52 years.  The first eleven years of their marriage, Lottie taught Junior High School English and Social Studies in Sheboygan.  In 1981 they moved to Wisconsin Rapids where Brian wanted to build and remodel homes.  Their two daughters were seven and four at the time.  Lottie began substitute teaching in the Nekoosa Middle School.  In 1984 she became the School Librarian/Computer Resource person.  Lottie prayed every morning on the way to work for guidance. It was a job she truly loved until she retired in 2004.  Not quite ready to quit teaching, Lottie continued to actively substitute teach until February of 2017.  Praying once more for guidance, Lottie received a phone call 2 hours later with an offer to help on the Development Board for Love INC-SWC.  Lottie served for three years as Secretary of that Board and still volunteers for them. Over the years, the McDermott family has grown to include two granddaughters and a grandson plus our son-in-law! Lottie still prays daily for guidance.
