Alethea Joy Pergament, 37, of Solomons, MD, formerly of Leonardtown, MD passed away on June 18, 2011, in Johns Hopkins University Hospital, Baltimore, MD. She was born on June 6, 1974 in Ocean City, NJ. Alethea was a Pre School Teacher for the Goddard Schools in the Southern part of New Jersey. She loved to dance, especially Tap, Ballet and Jazz. Alethea loved traveling to Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL; this was truly a special and magical place for her. She was very passionate about cooking for her family and dear friends and all of the Philadelphia sports teams. She was also a member of Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Church in Solomons, MD. Alethea developed Pulmonary Hypertension and became very active in the Pulmonary Hypertension Community. With a rare illness—one that the general public have never heard of or understand—many who struggle with pulmonary hypertension find themselves isolated and alone with this disease. Alethea Pergament brought support, compassion, knowledge and power to help lead those patients out of isolation. She was a guiding light, a source of hope and an inspiration to those who knew her. Through her work leading support groups, she connected patients with each other and brought a little peace and calm to others. Alethea stood out as a source of happiness and genuine love for others. She is survived by her beloved daughter Brianna L. Pergament of Solomons, MD; her devoted friend and fiancé Rick Sullivan of Solomons, MD and her aunt Mary Lee Witaconis and her husband Ed of Mechanicsville, MD. A memorial service celebrating her life will be held on Saturday, July 2, 2011, 11:00 AM at the Rausch Funeral Home, P.A., 20 American Lane, Lusby MD, with Father John Mattingly officiating. Interment will be private. The family request contributions to be made in Alethea’s name to the Pulmonary Hypertension Association, 801 Roeder Rd., Suite 1000, Silver Spring, MD 20910, www.phassociation.org
