Mrs. McCormick was a former member of Valley Grande Baptist Church (the former Central Baptist Church) for most of her life.

In her later years she was a faithful member of Fairview Baptist Church.

She was an avid reader, which gave her many enjoyable hours and Mrs. McCormick continues to swim even in the later years of her life. Her favorite place to vacation was the Alabama and Florida Gulf coasts, where she spent many happy summers with her family.

Mrs. McCormick was extremely proud of her family heritage and her Selma heritage. Some of her last thoughts were of her family, friends and the city in which she was born,

raised, left for a while and eventually returned to reside.

She will be laid to rest in the Old Live Oak Cemetery on Saturday, October 30, 2010 at a 10:00 graveside service with her nephew, Reverend Steve McCary officiating and Lawrence Brown Service Funeral Home directing.
