Rae-Ann Dreamer McCormackOctober 5, 2015 – October 16, 2026

Rae-Ann Dreamer McCormack, 11, of Pullman, Washington, passed away on October 16, 2026. She was born on October 5, 2015, in Moscow, Idaho, to Lowen Patrick McCormack and Tracy Ann Anderson. Rae-Ann was of Nez Perce, Hopi, and Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians ancestry.

Rae-Ann, affectionately known as Sissy, had a pure and beautiful soul that her family held sacred. She lived with cerebral palsy, but her physical limitations did not define who she was. Through her own unique expressions and cues, she shared her distinct personality, playful sarcasm, and unmistakable sense of humor. She taught those who loved her to understand her ways of communicating.

She enjoyed being held, listening to her father sing to her, and being gently stretched and massaged by her mother. She loved Ed Sheeran’s music, especially “Thinking Out Loud.” Her family cherishes those moments of closeness. Rae-Ann is now whole and at peace in heaven.
