Mary Grace McCormack

Mary Grace McCormack entered into her heavenly Fathers presence unexpectedly at Del Sol Medical Center in El Paso Texas on November 8th. Mary was born on October 11, 1963 in Hempstead New York, the daughter of William Eastwood and Mary Eastwood. Mary graduated from the University of North Carolina Greensboro in 1985 with a Nursing Degree and passed her boards soon after. While at UNCG Mary met her husband of 34 years Jeff McCormack. They lived in Northern Virginia for all of those years For the last 8 years Mary served with her husband Jeff as missionaries on staff with Cru Military and for the last 3 years as the Northeast Area of Operations Directors. At MCB Quantico, Mary provided a motherly touch, listening ear, home cooked meal, and wise spiritual counsel to generations of young men and women who passed through the gates and deployed around the world in service of their country. Though often quiet and unassuming, Mary had a bedrock faith in her Lord Jesus and joyfully shared the grace of God with all those she served. For Jeff, she selflessly worked behind the scenes, organizing, encouraging, motivating, supporting and providing invaluable wisdom and perspective to a very demanding position. Mary was no stranger to suffering but through the ups and downs of life maintained a strong sense of gratitude and wonder. From a stroll by the ocean at Myrtle beach, to a beautiful sunset, or even a delicious meal, she had a unique ability to discover joy in the ordinary. Mary fiercely loved Jeff and her children and was so proud of their individual giftings and accomplishments. Mary is survived by her husband Jeffrey McCormack of Nokesville Va, her daughter Kathryn Louise McCormack (26) of Manassas Va and son, Michael McCormack (21) of Nokesville Va. Mary is also survived by her mother Mary Eastwood (86) of Greensboro N.C and her sister Kathryn Eastwood (50) and Brother William Eastwood (55) both also of Greensboro There will be a Celebration of Life service on December 11th at Grace Life Community Church 9560 Linton Hall Rd Bristow Virginia 20136 at 3 PM followed by a time of fellowship afterwards.
