Patricia Ford

Patricia Ann Ford, our beloved mother, wife, grandma, and great-grandma, returned home to her loving mother and father on March 16, 2026. She was born on March 3, 1943, to Glade and Nellie Wilson in Midway, Utah.

Pat grew up on a farm in Midway along with her two brothers and three sisters. They were a mischievous bunch, always finding lots of things on the farm that kept them busy and entertained. Leaving them with great stories to pass down to their children and grandchildren. Growing up on a farm taught her an unwavering work ethic that served her well. She had many notable accomplishments and achievements throughout her life. She put her all into everything that she did. She was a waitress, seamstress, bookkeeper, store clerk, saw mill worker, and hotel manager. She loved learning a new skill and always gave it her all.

She married Koy Anderson on July 27, 1962, and had three children. They were later divorced. 
She then married the love of her life, John H. Ford, on May 25, 1990, and was later sealed in the Manti Temple on March 2, 2013.

Patricia’s three children were the light of her life. She was always involved in all of their activities, from serving in the PTA, as a Boy Scout den mother, as a primary teacher, and serving in many other callings in her church. She loved God and had an unwavering faith that was passed down to her children and grandchildren. She involved all three of them in any activity available, supporting them unconditionally throughout their lives. She did the same with her grandchildren. She was at every sporting event & school activity. She loved all of them with everything she had, and would do anything for any one of them.

She will be greatly missed by all of those who knew her.

Pat is survived by her husband, John Ford; children, Jim (Renee) Anderson, Jodi Fresh, Jeri (Martin) Turner; stepchildren, Randy Ford, Eric Ford, Jeremy Hoagland, TJ Ford; brother, George; sisters Trudy, Kathy, and Keary.
