Virginia Carol McCormick

Virginia Carol Smith McCormick, 79, went home to be with the Lord surrounded by her loved ones October 11, 2023.

She was met at the gates by a host of loved ones including her husband Norman Kyle McCormick; sons Dwayne McCormick and Dwight McCormick; granddaughter Angela Sharps; and her parents who she missed dearly, Henry and Ethel Smith, as well as many others who she longed to see.

She is survived by her daughters who she loved dearly; Elizabeth Jarrell, Rebecca (Richard) Thompson, Tammy Slocum, and Teressa Pauley. Her grandbabies were the light of her life, they were her pride and joy; grandchildren Josh (Candice) Sharps, Nathan Slocum (Samantha), Mitchell (Meggan) McCormick, Ashley and Jacob Pauley. Great grandchildren; Jayden and Cayden Sharps, Lincoln Seibert, Saylor and Lynleigh Slocum. Her special siblings who she loved so much; brothers Robert and James Smith; sister and best friend Gloria Dotson.

Carol always put God first in everything she done. Throughout the highs and lows of life, she always praised him. She enjoyed going to church and didn’t mind taking all the community children with her, always providing transportation and being a Godly figure to everyone who knew her. She enjoyed to cook, she will be remembered by her special homemade biscuits, homemade syrup, and homemade bbq. If there was anything she loved, it was spending quality time with her family and cooking a one of a kind meal. Most recently, she discovered gospel songs on YouTube and spent her days listening to her favorites.

She was a light for the Lord to everyone who knew her, and she will be so missed. Words would never be able to describe how wonderful she truly was. A private graveside service will be held with immediate family. A celebration of life dinner will be held for family and friends on October 21, 2023, at the Fountain of Life Worship Center at 2:00pm, with Stevie Cox and Doug Green officiating.
