Anna Jena McCormick went to be with The Lord on November 30, 2015. She was born on October 23, 1929 to parents Herbert and Audi Cockerham of Springhill LA. She is one of seven children, (Mabel, Aline, Maxwell, Janell, Mary Beth, and Cecilia Kay) with Janell being her twin and Mary Beth being her only surviving sibling. Jena met Allen McCormick in 1947 soon after WWII and they were married 6 months after their introduction by her brother Maxwell. Allen (or "Irish" as Jena called him) and Jena were happily married for 58 years before the Lord called Allen home in 1998. They had three sons, Ricky, Dennis, and David and a daughter Carolyn Ann. Ricky and his wife Joan live in Baltimore MD, David and his wife Marie live in San Antonio TX. Dennis went to be with the Lord in 2013 and his wife Shawn continues to live in the San Antonio area. Carolyn Ann went to be with The Lord shortly after her birth. Jena has 8 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren. Jena made her home in Springhill LA, Pine Bluff AR, Vicksburg MS, Atlanta TX and finally San Antonio TX. Always very involved with her church, Jena sang in the choir, taught Sunday school and other activities. She was also quite the artist. She and Allen loved making woodcrafts where Allen would do the woodwork and Jena would finish them out with beautiful painting. She also taught art out of her home on occasion. In addition to art, Jena enjoyed playing the piano and continued playing until just recently. Jena never knew a stranger and ensured her home was always full of love and laughter. Her approach to life was simple...love Jesus and convey His love to all. We love you Mom and rejoice that you are now home with our Lord.
Visitation will be 3:00PM - 6:00PM at Schertz Funeral Home Stateroom, Saturday, December 5, 2015.
