Carolyn A. McCormick

January 17, 1923 - January 6, 2022

On January 6, 2022 Carolyn A McCormick, nee Fante, passed away at the age of 98, just 11 days shy of her 99th birthday. She was the loving mother of Patricia A. Sturm (Al) and Edward J. McCormick (Chris) and the grandmother of Michael A. Sturm (Sherri), Brian E. Sturm, Daniel P. McCormick (Kerre) and Kelley Brune (Clint). Carolyn was the great-grandmother of 7, Blake Becker, Donovan Higgins, Jacob Sturm, Addison Brune, Addison Sturm, Jordyn McCormick and Cole Brune. She was the sister of Ann Yuhas (late John), Ellen Rees (Richard) and Tom Fante (Donna) and the loving aunt, great-aunt and friend to many. Carolyn was preceded in death by her parents, Marziale & Anna Fante, her brother Nick Fante and his wife Frances and her sister Mary Jean Kocher and her husband Glenn. Carol, as she preferred to be called, enjoyed many years working in retail sales and was so proud of her career. In her younger days she loved to bowl, play golf and volunteer at her church. Until the last couple years when her health started to decline, Carol walked every day and made many new friends walking the halls of her retirement community. If you asked her about her long life and her greatest accomplishment, she would tell you that it was her family. She was so proud of each and every one of us and loved us all unconditionally. Our mother, grandmother and great-grandmother was the heart of our family and although she will be missed every day she will remain in our hearts forever. Due to Covid and in order to keep everyone safe, Carol’s services will be private with only her immediate family celebrating her life with a Mass on Monday, January 24, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. at Ascension Catholic Church, 230 Santa Maria Dr, Chesterfield, MO and internment at Holy Cross Cemetery, 16200 Manchester Rd., Ballwin, MO 63011. *****At the family's request, please do not send flowers.***** Donations in memory of Carol can be sent to St. Luke’s Hospice Services.
