Ms. Arlene F. McCormick, 84, went to be with her loved ones on January 21, 2026, at Peak Resources in Cherryville, NC. Heaven gained an amazing, incredible unique angel this day. Arlene was born in Springfield, Ohio on August 29, 1941 to the late Roy Raymond and Emma Rose Wagner.

In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her youngest son, Paul, and her beloved 46 years long term partner, Doug Morrison, Sr.

Arlene is survived by her sons David McCormick and James D. McCormick; daughter, Kathy McCormick, ten grandchildren, Katie, Nancy, J.D., and others; great grandchildren, Hailey, Caitlin, Greg, Ty, Theo; and one sister, Elizabeth Wagner of New Mexico; and many more relatives. She also leaves her many memories with her best friend, Margie, who made the days with her at Peak fun by reading the Bible, doing puzzles, and talking with her.

A celebration in her honor will be held later, at a convenient date for the family.
