Shirley M. Ford, daughter of Harry Tingley and Faith Young Tingley. Loving sister of Janice Turner, the late Leonard Turner, her niece Charlene, and her nephew Dean, brothers Jimmy Tingley, Sonny Tingley, and the late Kenny Tingley. Shirley adored her grandchildren Michelle, Julie, Jason and Katy, Ryan, Nicole, and Glenna. She loved all her 13 great-grandchildren who adored her, as well as Susan Colomy, her niece, and Mom and Dad's two best friends, the late Shaggy Ford and Dick Lantz.
Our Mom Shirley M. Ford was a woman who grew up in a man's world and excelled beyond most men's abilities. From a start at her fathers restaurant, Little Mommies, in Brant Rock, to driving the school bus for her fathers company. Upon marrying the love of her life, Glenn C. Ford Sr. the two of them built a construction company in Marshfield and ran it for 35 years. Our Mom held a commercial drivers license, she often drove dump trucks and trailers when needed. Mom was a pioneer woman, ahead of her time, always working while raising four children. She was survived by her son Raymond Edwin, and wife Sheila, son Glenn Jr, daughters Georgia Charlene and husband Scott Packard, and Debra Faith. While running our Dad's company. Mom always had an ear to listen, a shoulder to lean on and a voice to guide us through our lives. We hope that everyone has a mom like we had. Mom was married to Dad for 69 years, they loved each other at the end as much as they did on their first day together.
Our parents were married at 17 years of age. They were lucky enough to have each other until our dad passed on December 31st, 2014. All of her children and grandchildren were lucky enough to learn the values of hard work and dedication that our mom and dad instilled upon us. We went camping every weekend at Bourne Scenic Park. Those memories will forever be in our minds and thoughts with a lifetime of laughter to share. We are going to miss you forever Mom but we are happy you are back with Dad.
