Marjorie Anne Ford

Marjorie was born to parents Angela Dowd and Raymond Dowd on Oct 1, 1951. She grew up as a middle child of eight and attended college in San Antonio, TX. In 1982, she had her only child Sarah. She valued her family's privacy and wanted what was the best for her only child. Family was always important or the prime value.

Marjorie loved to go for walks in the Bluffs, vacations to the beach (we missed the last vacation she asked to go on), and camping in the mountains. She was very honest, and wanted to know the real truth about things that happened. She was a mother, and really cared about her child. She wasn't who most other people thought she was. She was cool, but did not want problems to occur. She loved to help her child a whole lot.

Her first house was in Cary. Marjorie was very proud of it, and raised her child in it while residing with some extended family. Marjorie moved to the country just after her child went off to college. She loved the country, and enjoyed the large acreage. Her favorite thing to do was to mow the lawn. She had two cats and enjoyed the extra money without a child to raise, and renovating her house. In 2006, Marjorie moved. She loved the downtown area, and purchased a brand new home. It was her first brand new home (it was a new build). She liked it because of the location, it was by a railroad, and she enjoyed hearing the trains go by. She was proud of her house, and the fact that it was new.

She loved to cook her favorite recipes including homemade pancakes from scratch, homemade chocolate chip cookies from scratch, shephard’s pie, homemade meatballs and red sauce, and popcorn for a movie snack. Marjorie loved to read, play cards (rummy) and to watch movies.

Marjorie is survived by her daughter, Sarah Ford

There is a private gathering for the family to remember Marjorie Ford. The family has plans to support a commemorative park bench and a tree in downtown Cary in memory of Marjorie Ford. The family is currently collecting donations for the bench memorial via a donations webpage. Engraved paving at the Cary Hemlock Bluffs is possible in commemoration for the life of Marjorie
