Mary Kay McCormick

Mary Kay stepped from earthly to eternal heavenly life as promised by her Friend, Lord and Savior Jesus on Saturday evening, April 6, 2019, after nearly 63 years of mortal life. Her body was crushed by rare Erdheim Chester Disease (ECD) but her spirit soared in faithful confidence and assurance that Jesus has gone ahead to prepare a place for her with our heavenly Father (John 14: 2-3).

Mary Kay was widely known in the medical administration community in the Simi Valley and Conejo Valley areas for nearly 30 years for her love, joy, peace and patience toward others and her competence in her work. No matter what she faced in this life, she had a positive, Christian outlook and kind responses that placed others before herself.

Among the many who still linger and look forward in faith to a glorious eternity with Jesus, with Mary Kay and with other believers are her parents Lee and Geneva McCormick; her son Will Ruble and his wife Susan, grandsons Blake, Jaxson and Cameron and granddaughter Ciara; sisters Sue Thomas, Diane Woods, Denise McGill and Carolyn Williams and families; brothers Roger, Richard and Donald McCormick and families; beloved aunts, uncles and cousins; and a host of local friends and co-workers – all specially dear to her.

Mary Kay knew that Romans 5: 1-11 was for her and for all of us: “Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. . . . God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. . . . So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God.”

Celebration of Life services will be held at Pierce Brothers Valley Oaks-Griffin Mortuary, 5600 Lindero Canyon Road, Westlake Village, CA, on Saturday, April 13, 2019, at 2pm and at a later date in Missouri.
