Jean E. McCormick (nee Sharp)

McCormick, Jean E. (nee Sharp), asleep in Jesus, Monday, January 13, 2020. Born in what is now known as Wildwood, MO, Jean was baptized into the Lutheran faith as a baby on March 30, 1941. She was confirmed on July 3, 1955 at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church of Grover (near what was then called Orrville, MO). Jean was married to Steven B. Mulvaney until his death in May 1970. She married and later divorced the late Robert A. McCormick. Parents: Late Elsie M. and Charles Theodore Sharp. Siblings: Jean was the oldest of 4 - John, Judy, and Jayne. Mother of Kevin and Kelly; Grandmother of Steven and Rachel; Aunt, Great Aunt, Cousin, and Friend to many. Jean retired from the U.S. Postal Service after 27 years having served as a Postal Clerk and eventually being promoted to Postmaster of the Augusta, MO and, later, Villa Ridge, MO post offices. Jean loved music; through the years, she sang in church choirs and also the St. Louis County Community Chorus. She attended the St. Louis Symphony, the Black Rep, the Muny, the Fabulous Fox Theatre, Stages and Engelbert Humperdinck concerts. (She was a proud member of the Enge fan club since 1968.) Jean was an avid reader as well as a collector of books, CDs, and old records. She also gardened and did lots of canning/pickling. She loved to cook and bake. Jean also loved to travel and was happy to see Alaska, Australia and Europe. Jean belonged to a sorority of professional business women, Zeta Beta Chi, for many years and served as a local and national officer. Jean thought education was important-in fact, she went back to college at the age of 71, earning her Associate’s Degree from St. Louis Community College and was pursuing her Bachelor’s from Missouri Baptist University at the time of her death. Jean wanted to be remembered as a true Aquarius - kind, well-organized, concerned for others, a hard worker, and not content to sit idle.
