Evelyn was predeceased by her loving husband John F. Ford in 1998 and by her son John F. Ford II in 2015. Survivors include daughters Margaret Lynn, Patricia Whitesides (Terch), son Tommy (Lisa), daughter in law Donna Thrasher and grandchildren: Allison Snider (Jeremy), David Lynn, Jessie Ford, and John H. Ford, great grandchildren Felix and Forrest Snider. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews.
A private graveside service will be held at Sharon Memorial Park in Charlotte on Saturday, May 2, 2020. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
