Barbara Molyneaux McCormick
Barbara McCormick of Redmond, WA, died November 11. She was born July 21, 1929, in Detroit, MI. As she liked to put it, she was on her way to 90. A member of Tri Delta sorority, she graduated from the University of Michigan with an English degree. In 1951, she married John McCormick; they had four children.
Starting in the 60's, as a rare woman in computer science, she worked at Boeing, SeaFirst, and The Seattle Times. Barbara met many of her close friends during her 40+ years in Sweet Adelines. Her travels took her to Japan, Laos, Machu Pichu, Cambodia, Thailand, Europe, Australia, Mexico, and many other places.
She was a steadfast Democrat and a staunch liberal, believing in equal rights for women, LBGTQ recognition, economic equality, and civil rights.
Barbara was a strong, independent woman, a great friend to many, and the matriarch of her family, and she will be greatly missed. Barbara is survived by her partner of more than 50 years Sandy Shaw, children Viki, Michael, Gayle and Kit, six grandchildren, and a great-grandson.
A celebration will be held at the Sammamish Forest Manors Clubhouse on Saturday, November 24, at 1:00 pm with a program at 2:00 pm.
Memorial donations may be made to FINCA Int'l, Southern Poverty Law Center, KCTS 9, Amnesty Int'l, or the Young Singers Foundation. Sign Barbara's Guest Book at www.Legacy.com
