DARCY EILEEN GOGERT-DEMAS

On Saturday, March 20, 2021, Darcy Eileen Gogert-demas passed away at the age of 65.

Darcy was born on January 18, 1956 in Las Vegas, Nevada to Dorothy and Wallace Gogert. She held a Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Nevada School of Medicine in Reno, Nevada and a Master of Public Health degree with postdoctoral training in General Preventive Medicine from Loma Linda University in Loma Linda, California. On April 9, 1995 she married William Demas back in her home city of Las Vegas, Nevada where she remained until her passing. Her ongoing fight with Multiple Sclerosis forced her to retire from practicing medicine several years after her marriage, but she continued her interests in medicine, wellness, and helping others.

Darcy had a passion for horses, cats, and dogs - shelties in particular. She showed shelties at dog shows in the years before her marriage and she worked with her sheltie Summer as a therapy dog after she had retired from medicine. As much as she loved animals, she also loved people. She was a “chatter box” and would talk to anyone and everyone. She considered cashiers, beauticians, and guard gate attendants as friends. Everyone had a kind word for her.

As a child, she had the next door neighbor as a playmate. That playmate became a friend for life and gave her much needed support during her illness. We wish to thank Diana Hale for all the advice and comfort which she provided.

Darcy was preceded in death by her father, Wallace, and her mother, Dorothy. She is survived by her husband William, her brother Sterling, her sisters Wallisann and Toni, and cousins, nieces, and nephews.
