Sherrie Williams McCormick, 77, of Rockingham, passed away Saturday, June 22, 2024 at Richmond County Hospice Haven.
She was born April 5, 1947 in Richmond County, daughter of the late John Thomas Williams and Margaret Warner Williams.
Sherrie retired after 30 years of service as the budget officer with the Richmond County Health Department. She was a member of First Baptist Church, Ellerbe. Being outdoors and enjoying the fresh air, she loved going to the river with family, vacationing, and loved the beach. She was also a lover of cats. Sherrie maintained an immaculate yard and spent time with her flowers and loved the color orange. Reading novels, doing word search puzzles, and watching her favorite movie, “Gone with the Wind,” with her daughter, were some of her enjoyments in life as well.
Sherrie was a lady who dearly loved her family, including her devoted husband, children, and especially the sunshines of her life, her granddaughters. She thoroughly enjoyed spoiling Hayley and Carley.
Along with her parents, she is preceded in death by her husband of 55 years, Joseph Delano McCormick.
Left to cherish her memory are her children, Shelley McCormick of Rockingham and Scott McCormick (Brandy) of Ellerbe; her granddaughters, Hayley McCormick (Drew Smith) and Carley McCormick, both of Ellerbe.
A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, June 26, 2024 at 5 p.m. at New Hope Baptist Church, 1187 W. NC Hwy. 73, Ellerbe, with the Rev. Tim Hawks officiating.
The family will greet friends following the service at the home of her son, Scott.
