Mary L. Ford

She was preceded in death by her parents William and Eliza Dietrich as well as sister Wilda and husband of 55 years, Jim.

Marylou built a close-knit family that brought her immense joy and pride. Marylou was known as the Energizer Bunny—never sitting still. She always looked forward, never back. She was loving and kind to everyone she met. She valued her family the most.

She was a 50-year member of the Eastern Star and the ACBL. She was a past president of her golf league, garden club and woman’s club.

A person of faith, Marylou was a member of First Presbyterian Church in Beaver, Pennsylvania for over 30 years.

Marylou is survived by her children; James M Ford (Penny), Linda F Gallup (David), Robert W Ford (Nancy), Sally A Marinelli (John), her grandchildren; Allison Harbart, James Ford III, Michael Ford, Paul Gallup, Peter Gallup, Kelly Cameron, Jay Ford, Chandler Ford, Alex Barr and Andrew Barr as well as her great grandchildren; Carson Harbart, Brooke Ford, Landon Ford, Nathan Ford, Travis Gallup, MJ Gallup, Hudson Gallup, Harlan Gallup, Quinn Cameron, Ford Cameron, Elle Ford and Gracelyn Barr.
