Elizabeth Ann Ford

She was born March 15, 1954 in Detroit, MI to Henry B. and Betty J. (Finley) Ford. Liz, Liza, Lizard, Aunt Liz or Elizabeth Ann (when she was in trouble) never met a stranger. She was loving, kind, compassionate, funny, free spirited and we could go on and on but you get the drift. Liz was a lover of all animals and I mean all animals. She had a small farm that was full of any animals that wanted to live there and her prize possession of her horses. Liz loved to ride on trails and in parades. She bottle raised cats, dogs, opossum, squirrels and again I could go on an on but you get it. Liz had many jobs throughout the years from auto parts runner, construction clean up, factory work, medical office personnel, etc. You name it Liz could do it. We will not dote on her accolades as those were not important to her. She only wanted to showcase her morals and integrity. Liz always wanted to pay it forward.

Preceded in death by parents.

She is survived by siblings: George Ford (Teresa), Gayle Ford Sherrod (Jeff), Amy Ford Latham (David); nieces: Brandy Ford Cox, Debbie Latham McCall, April Latham Burnette (Jason), Olivia Ford Dixon (Dylan), Ashlee H. Latham (Tyler), Tori Cox, Camryn Cox; nephews: Todd Ford, Christopher Grubb, Dylan Sherrod, Tyler Latham (Ashlee), Jackson Riley Ford, George Brady Ford (Keeley); several great nieces and nephews that were her babies including her "Special Trio" Stella Jean Grubb, Axton Townsend and Dilan Peters;
