Barbara McCormack

Barbara was born November 8, 1954 in Ketchikan, Alaska to Capt. (USCG ret.) Harold J. and Rita E. McCormack who preceded her in death. Barbara grew up in Juneau, AK, Seattle, WA, Portsmouth, VA and Vienna, VA before moving with her military family to Bellevue, WA where she graduated from Newport High School & Bellevue College. Barbara’s trademark was free spirited optimism that she shared most of all with her daughter, Erika (David) Landis and son, Jonathan Armstrong as well as her precious grandchildren, Kasey and DJ Landis, all of Snohomish, WA. Besides her children and grandchildren, Barbara is survived by her partner Eric Schwandt of Arlington, WA, brother, Michael McCormack (Neda Shook) of Medina, WA and five sisters: Kathleen McCormack of Mill Creek, WA; Carol Campbell (Steven) of Overland Park, KS; Jeanne Argeris of Neptune, NJ; Patricia Prentice (John) of Snohomish, WA; and Peggy McCormack of Mill Creek, WA. Barbara loved her big family that included many nieces, nephews, and cousins who are devastated by the loss of their “Auntie Barb.”
