Steven McCord Obituary

Steve had a tremendous sense of humor, he was warm, nurturing, had a huge heart. He was a dedicated care-taker of anyone that would let him! He barely let his wife lift a finger, he volunteered for neighborride - supporting the elderly in our community, driving long hours taking his step daughter to college and always puttering about working hard to tend to those he cared for. Steve loved food and was a great cook - he made great ribs and other delectables - including Christmas Wreaths made out of corn flakes, green food dye and hot rock candies. Steve did many things well, but none matched how he loved and cared for his wife. He loved playing games - trivia, bridge, cards, poker, you name it- and entertaining friends and watching sports. Many many family, friends and neighbors will miss his giant personality, and his quick wit.

He is survived by his wife Nancy, his daughter Randi Williams, (Jeff Dowhy), and granddaughters Patricia and Makela, also his step daughters Stefanie Rosinsky, her husband Jimmy Rosinsky and Dana Pearlman, her wife Lisa Alterman, and his 3 grandchildren: Brendan, Andrew and Ella Rosinsky, and dear friends. We trust that he is reunited with Nanook, our family dog, that broke his heart when he died in 2001.

There will be a celebration of life at Slayton House in Wilde Lake on Nov. 26, 2022 from 11:30am- 1:30 pm.

The family asked that donations be made to Neighborride https://portal.neighborride.org.donate or mail to 5570 Sterrett Place, Suite102, Columbia, MD 21044

When I think of Steve, I can´t help but smile and remember his sense of humor. And I´m so happy, Nancy, to have you as a friend and fellow neighbor here at Watermark. Thinking of you and wishing you strength.

Nancy, I learned about Steve's death today. I am so sorry: the two of you seemed such a harmonious pair, and judging from the language in his obituary, he tried hard to make it so. I wish you strength and self reliance in your newly solitary life, and may time and fond memories assuage your grief.
