A resident of Henderson County for the past 10 years, she was a daughter of the late Alfred H. Ahrens and Helen Congdon Ahrens. She was a member of St. James Episcopal Church.

In addition to her loving husband of 52 years, Robert, survivors include four children: Susan M. Heisler, of Flat Rock; Teri M. Berrier, of Holly Springs; Robert M. McCormick IV, of Alpharetta, Ga.; and Mark P. McCormick, of Centreville, Vir; one sister, Judith A. Thomas, of South Bend, Ind.; along with nine grandchildren.

A memorial service will be held at St. James Episcopal Church at 11 a.m. Monday, with the Rev. Joel G. Hafer officiating. The family will receive friends at the funeral home on Sunday from 6 to 9 p.m.
