As published in the March 25, 2013 World-Spectator
Olive Ford, age 94, died peacefully at Deer View Lodge in Wawota on Friday, March 15, 2013 with family by her side.
Olive was born on January 7, 1919, at the family farm southwest of Wawota to parents John Walter and Nellie (Masefeld) Lincoln.
Olive was the oldest of seven children. Olive married George (Geordie) Ford in 1941 in Stroud, Ont., in a double wedding with Jimmy and Bertha Porter (Geordie's sister).
Olive was an active partner in the farming operation. She was an avid gardener and loved to curl, skidoo, and golf. She was a 4-H leader, member of the UCW, and faithful church attendee. Olive was easily recognized by Wawota residents as the woman in her eighties walking her three miles a day at a brisk pace.
Olive is survived by her son David (Nicki) Ford, grandchildren: Rochelle Friesen, Jaime (Scott) Finlay, and Paul Ford, great-grandchildren: Kelton, Cienna, and Zoey, brother Ken Lincoln, sister Lillian Lownsbrough, sister-in- law Joyce Lincoln, as well as many nieces and nephews.
Olive is predeceased by husband Geordie, sons Kenneth and Ronald, grandson-in-law Darren Friesen, brothers Walter, Bill, and Jimmy Lincoln, sister Dorothy Murray, brother-in-law Munroe Lownsbrough and sisters-in-law Vivian and Dolly Lincoln.
The funeral service, officiated by Rev Sally Bullas, was held Saturday, March 23, 2013 at 2 p.m. at the Wawota United Church, with interment to follow in Wawota Cemetery. If friends so desire, in lieu of flowers please make donations to the Wawota United Church.
