Evelyn (Tubb) Ford (July 22, 1928 - October 19, 2020) was born in Falls of Rough, KY to the late Dwight & Pearl Tubb. She had four siblings, and is survived by 1 sister, 1 brother, and many nieces & nephews.
She was married 45 years to her high school sweetheart, the late Robert L. Ford, Jr.. He was their high school's basketball team captain and she was a cheerleader. They had 5 children. Two passed in infancy. She is survived by three children, and many grandchildren and great grandchildren.
During her adult life, Evelyn enjoyed a daily walk most every morning & evening, gardening and she was a gifted seamstress and artisan. Her handiwork won many State Fair first place ribbons.
She was a long standing member of the United Methodist Church. There she participated in the Quilting Circle and Sunday school class, where she cultivated life long friendships.
Evelyn enjoyed telling detailed stories of growing up 'in the country' during the struggles of The Great Depression, and delighted in the mischief she and her siblings would get in to inevitably. She was quick witted and enjoyed a good laugh.
It is impossible to fully summarize her 92 years of life in a few paragraphs. She participated in and supported many organizations throughout the years. Even more so, she participated and contributed to the lives of many people. She was kind-hearted and demonstrated such through word and action. Every one who knew her could tell you a story of how, in different ways, her life impacted their own. Her acts of kindness, though perhaps 'small', made a difference.
Though the time has come to say 'goodbye', she will be missed by all until we meet again.
For those that may desire, you are welcome to honor her in your own way, whether through flowers or a donation to the organization of your choosing. What would probably please her most is if one simply remembered her from time to time and performed a simple act of kindness.
