Wendell Ford Obituary

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of Wendell Ford in Gower, Missouri, leaving to mourn family and friends. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Wendell Ford to show support.

As Wendell departs from this earthly realm, his essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though Wendell may no longer walk beside us, his spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy Wendell leaves behind.

He was loved and cherished by many people including: his parents, Lee Roy and Gladys Leora Ford (Halterman); his wife Janice Florine Murphy; his children, Debbie McDonald (Dave) and Doug Ford (Holly); his grandchildren, Connor McDonald, Camryn McDonald and Syd Ford; and his brother Delmar Ray Ford. He was also cherished by nieces and nephews, and many friends.
