1957 – 2018

A beloved wife, mother, step-mother, grandmother and sister, Tenna Marie McCormick, passed away unexpectedly in Bow Island on Monday, January 1, 2018 at the age of 60 years.
A private burial service will be held at the Vauxhall Cemetery on Friday, January 5, 2018.

Tenna will be lovingly remembered by her husband Gordon McCormick; daughters Jolynne (Aaron) Block of Medicine Hat and their children Sorscha and Xander; Jaycee Cichy of Bow Island and her children Kayleb and Liberty; step-son Jeremy McCormick of Bow Island. She is also survived by her siblings Roy (Gerri) Unser, Bob Unser, Sharron (Butch) Porter, Helen (Gord) Moore, Jean (Greg) Miller and Carla (Jaap) de Jager as well as many nieces, nephews, friends and all the fur babies.
Tenna was born in Taber on October, 14, 1957 to Flory and Veleta Unser. She grew up in Vauxhall where she raised her two good humoured daughters. Tenna lived in Lethbridge for a short period before settling down in Bow Island, with Gord McCormick. She was a warm hearted grandmother who loved visiting with family and friends. Tenna always had an animal or four by her side. She had a variety of hobbies, from cross-stitch and crafting to reading, doing jigsaw puzzles or playing games and music. You would rarely catch Tenna without her Pepsi and puppies.
“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel” Maya Angelou.
If friends so desire, memorial tributes in Tenna’s name may be made directly to the Humane Society of choice.
