Our mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, Leslie Ann Ford, passed away peacefully on Thursday October 24, 2013 after a fifty-year battle with multiple sclerosis.
Leslie was born December 11, 1944 to Robert and Hazel Ford in Ogden, Utah.
Of all the jobs that Leslie had, she was committed to the role of mother. Her greatest joy came in watching her children and grandchildren grow and progress. She loved people, and drew great joy from bringing others love, smiles, and encouragement.
While multiple sclerosis weakened her body, it could never deter her tremendous faith, which only grew stronger as her body deteriorated.
Leslie remained true to that faith until the end and when that end came, those around her knew there was a glorious homecoming as she was welcomed into the arms of her parents, her oldest son, and her Father in Heaven.
She is survived by her brothers, Steve, Michael, and Jeff Ford, and their families; her children, Chris (Julie) Colt, Deborah (David) Williams, and Robert (Angela) Colt; and eleven grandchildren. Predeceased by her parents and oldest son, Tyler James Colt.
Memorial services will be held on Monday, October 28, 2013 at 11:00 a.m., preceded with a visitation one hour prior to the services and Sunday, October 27, 2013 from 6:00-8:00 p.m., at Leavitt's Mortuary, 836 36th Street, Ogden Utah.
Interment will be in the Huntsville Cemetery.
