Passed February 18, 2025 in Palm Bay, Florida
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of MaryBeth Kormondy, who went to be with the Lord on February 18, 2025.
She was born on March 2, 1956 to Russell and Beatrice DeAngelus In Schenectady, NY. MaryBeth moved to Palm Bay, Florida in 1979 where she met her husband and soul mate, James W. Kormondy.
She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin and friend who touched the lives of many with her kind heart and unique sense of humor. While raising her children, MaryBeth was a proud member of the Jaycees where she donated her time and efforts to making the community a better place. She was also a talented crochet artist. Along with gifting countless crafts to family and friends, every winter she would knit scarves and blankets and send them to be distributed to the homeless Veterans back in her hometown.
MaryBeth is survived by her husband James Kormondy; daughters Lecia Escobar (husband Jonathan) and Nadine Smotherman; son Austin Kormondy; grandchildren Amelia, Tyson, Iley, Landon, and Jaxon; sister Patsy Joinnides; and brother Russell DeAngelus.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Russell and Beatrice.

A beautiful soul. A red cardinal came to visit me this morning and I believe it was you "texting " me good morning. I wake every day still expecting to hear from you, so seeing that cardinal was comforting. I love and miss you more than words can say. Thoughts and prayers to Jim and your beautiful family and to all who were lucky to have you in our lives. Rest in peace MB.
Much love
Your "Lil sis", P, Vera and the Dixie chickens.

I have the fondest memories of spending spring break with you all. Arriving at my grandparents and darting across the street to The Kormondy's to play. MaryBeth would always welcome me with a huge smile and it was the best feeling ever!
Sending you all kind thoughts and prayers. Everytime i hear a Beach Boys song, I'll think of her.

To the Kormondy Family ...
My deepest & heartfelt condolences to u during this time. Sending prayed & strength.
I could always count on laugh, love, & a shoulder from MB. She loved so honestly & so deeply.
Her love for her family (which included her furbabies too) was her greatest source of happiness.
I'll never ever forget our chats just the 2 of us, or with Kara or Kip.
U will always be a ray of sunshine & love!
Love u always!
