About Stomer Creations

At Stomer Creations, we believe that music gives us wings to soar towards heaven.  

 Welcome to my newly revised website. I am glad you came to visit. My name is Mary Catherine Stomer McGregor. Stomer is my family name from generations back. It is of German origin I have discovered. So here you have it; Stomer Creations.

I am a songwriter. I love to sing. I have loved music all of my life. I remember growing up and hearing my grandparents sing hymns all day long and I would sing with them and experience so much joy.

As I approached puberty I started creating poems and short stories in my head and I would write them down. As I approached high school I was really into writing whatever popped into my head,whether silly or serious stuff! I remember that my cousin, soul/r&b artist Samona Cooke, was very encouraging and told me never to give up my dreams! To always strive to reach and keep the music alive in me and share it with others. Well, as I got older, more family responsibility was required of me to care for my grandparents who were very old and in failing health.

Also I was trying to finish college. So the writing was put on hold to care for them. They both died and during this time I was working in the health care profession and establishing my career in nutrition. Now, 20 years later I am at the cross roads of life for the next level. Samona, I always kept the music safe in my heart. I am fulfilling my dreams of music and education. I am attending Grand Canyon Univesity, majoring in Elementary Education. Working with children is the most rewarding experience I have encountered. And sharing music with them is so special. It really is TRUE HAPPINESS!!!  

Below are 16 songs, with more to come. These songs come from life experiences, tragedies and wonderful people who have been a positive force in my life.
