Katie Marie McCormack, age 39 of Richmond Township, Michigan passed away peacefully on December 31st, 2023. Surrounded by love from her family and friends, the angels came to take her home after a long hard battle.
She was born on October 1st, 1984 in Warren Michigan to John Wicks and Tammy Licari. As a child she was in jazz, tap, ballet, modeling, and commercials. She was also a cheerleader in high school. She attended both Chippewa Valley Schools and Armada High School. Katie worked as a nanny for multiple families because she had a love for children.
On June 9th, 2012 she married Jason McCormack and they shared 11 years of marriage together. Katie gave birth to four beautiful kids and above all else, she still made sure that they were taken care of, all the way up until she passed away.
She enjoyed trap shooting, crafts, and puzzles. She loved to bake and cook, especially for other people. She also loved doing her makeup, hair, and nails. She enjoyed making pierogies with her Mom and learning her secret recipes. The warm sunshine, ditch lilies, and enjoying sweets were amongst some of her favorite things.
She was an amazing and generous person who gave with her heart and always had an ear to lend or a hug to give. She was selfless and always making sure that everyone was taken care of before herself. She had a beautiful smile and a laugh that was contagious. Katie is now one of God's angels and will be watching over all of us forever.
She is survived by her husband Jason McCormack. Her mom Tammy Licari (Jerry) and her dad John Wicks. Her children Isabella Peyerk (20), Cody Peyerk (19), Nicholas McCormack (14) and Sadie McCormack (7).
