Barbara McCormick Obituary
Bobbie was born to Garnet (Sherman) and Harry Hicks on March 6, 1935, in Omaha. She grew up in Lincoln, and was a graduate of Lincoln High School and The University of Nebraska in Lincoln. She married John Coover in 1957, and they had four children. Bobbie and John made their home in Hastings in 1965.
Bobbie was a homemaker and mom, but also was an oral surgery assistant and a sales associate at The Specialty Shoppe where she made many friends. Her favorite hobbies were her beautiful flower gardens, scrapbooks, and stained glass art.
Bobbie was a member of P.E.O. Chapter G and St. Mark's Episcopal Church. In 1998, she married Scott McCormick. They enjoyed traveling and having friends and family for barbecues.

I will always remember Bobbi´s kindness she showed me many years ago as my divorce was devastating. Such a genuine kind lady.

I think of Bobbi from time to time with fond memories. We met by chance and she invited me over to her beautiful condo for supper along with Shirley Meiniger. I so enjoyed our friendship and that evening the 3 of us shared our pain together. I will always remember her for her kindness. Marilyn Johnson

I am so sad to read that my my friend, Bobbie McCormick, has passed away. Bobbie was my saving soul in 1993 when I was going through my divorce. She, myself and her good friend shared the same bond that evening while having dinner together at her condo. I will be forever grateful and will always remember her kindness and upbeat attitude with me that night. She was such an understanding and special lady to me in my time of dispare. Her family has my sincere condolences.
