'''Mrs. McCormick''' is [[Kenny McCormick|Kenny]], [[Kevin McCormick|Kevin]], and [[Karen McCormick|Karen]]'s mother as well as [[Stuart McCormick|Stuart]]'s wife. Her first name is uncertain, however, she is often referred to as "Carol", a name that was used for [[Sharon Marsh]], [[Sheila Broflovski]], and [[Linda Stotch]] in earlier seasons.

Her family seems to be fairly religious and Roman Catholic, like many of the townspeople. She yells at Kenny for wanting to miss church in ''[[South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut]]'' to see [[Terrance and Phillip: Asses of Fire]] while Stuart stood up for the Church in "[[Red Hot Catholic Love]]", where they were one of the few families in town that did not convert to atheism. They also continue to pray after Kenny has died on a few occasions, and Kenny's funerals, when they occur, are always religious in nature.

After Kenny's "permanent" death in "[[Kenny Dies]]", Kenny is cremated. Though traditionally cremation is not approved by Christian churches, many Christians do it anyway.

From 1997 to 1999, Carol was voiced by [[Mary Kay Bergman]]. Bergman described the character as one of her five favorite voice roles in the series, together with [[Liane Cartman]], [[Sheila Broflovski]], [[Wendy Testaburger]], and [[Shelly Marsh]], also mentioning that she based the voice of the character on a "female version of Bill Clinton".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.wackyvoices.com/south.html |title=The Babes of South Park |accessdate=April 25th, 2009}}</ref> After Bergman's death, the character was voiced by [[Eliza Schneider]], from 1999 till 2003. From 2004 till present, Mrs. McCormick's voice has been provided by [[April Stewart]].

Carol wears a lime-green T-shirt which usually reads "I'm with Stupid", and dark blue jeans. The arrow is supposed to point at Stuart, but she is usually standing on the wrong side of him, so it points off in some other direction. Her hair is red, and similar in style to that of little [[Red]]'s, but her bangs go in the same direction as [[Wendy Testaburger]]'s. She has a shadowy patch on her right cheek, which may be a bruise, or simply filth.

In "[[Cartman Joins NAMBLA]]", her shirt had an American flag embroidered on it, accompanied by the phrase "God Bless". When the McCormick's went on the John Denver experience, however, it appeared as a solid green T-shirt. In "[[Best Friends Forever]]", it is a solid, but darker green.

Like her husband, Stuart, she is drunk more often than not, though she does seem a lot more controlled with her drinking. She and Stuart are usually fighting and bickering, with Mrs. McCormick saying that if Stuart would stop drinking and being lazy, and get a job, they might not be so hungry and poor. Like Stuart does to her, she sometimes beats him physically, [[Chickenlover|once giving him a black eye.]] She seems to have strength, seeing as when she hits Stuart. She also tackled Gerald Broflovski to the ground in [[I'm a Little Bit Country]].

Carol does care for Stuart deep down, though, as she was concerned for him when he went ill after consuming a drink mixed with abortion medication, got his nose broken on the John Denver experience, and was molested by the entire NAMBLA Society in "[[Cartman Joins NAMBLA]]". She also seems to think that the McCormick residence primarily belongs to her, as in "[[Chickenlover]]", she says (regarding Stuart): "I want him out of my house! He ain't worth a shit! He can't even hold a fuckin' job!" and yells a similar phrase at him in "[[Best Friends Forever]]". However, Stuart and Gerald built that same house when they were teenagers, as revealed in "[[Chickenpox]]".

In the episode "[[Mysterion Rises]]" it is revealed she had been part of a cult centered around Cthulhu ten years before the series' events and that she had been with Stuart at the time. Although she and her husband claim to have been extremely drunk while there, something their son does not question, it is hinted their involvement may have been greater. It is also revealed Kenny under the guise of Mysterion has been manipulating them to make them act better, promising him not to get high at night, not to fight as much, and to pay their children an allowance.

Stuart is her husband. With Carol being twenty-five years old, and Stuart being around [[Gerald Broflovski]]'s age, there is approximately eight years between them. Little is known of their past, but they have been together for at least ten years, likely as old as their eldest son, and share a love of drinking and drugs. Although they fight extremely often and have severely beat each other, it seems to be reinforced that they do care about each other, particularly in "[[Cartman Joins NAMBLA]]".

Kenny is her second child and younger son. She does care deeply about her son, crying and being horrified at many of his deaths, and arranging funerals, despite an implied knowledge of the repetition of them. She tries to make extra allowances for him during her pregnancy so he does not feel left out or ignored. She is, however, somewhat confrontational with him at times, such as "[[South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut]]".

She is afraid of his alter-ego [[Mysterion]], whom he uses to scare his parents into submission and manipulate them. When her children are taken away she does not want to see them go.
