Rae Dean Ford

March 30, 1969 — June 11, 2023

In loving memory of Ms. Rae Dean Ford

1969 – 2023

Ms. Rae Dean (Winnie) Ford was born March 30, 1969 to Larry Moody and Willie Mae Ford. She was a loving mother, daughter, sister and friend. Some may even call her a modern-day superhero. She dedicated her life as a healthcare worker and entrepreneur. She always put others before herself; acting selflessly to help others each and every day.

Ms. Rae is preceded in death by her father Larry Moody, grandparents: Charlie and Josie Brooks, Henry and Mae Moody, and nephew Billy Rae Ford, Jr.

Those left to carry her legacy and cherish her memories are her mother Willie Mae Ford, children: Ashley Ford, Nicholas Ford Hawkins, and Alonzo Hawkins, siblings: Curtis Moody, Betty Moody, Billy Ray Ford, Sr., Christopher Moody, Stephanie Nealy, Melba Ray Ford (Tree), and her precious grandchildren: Brooke, Lela, and Millie Mills, Mason and Kayleigh Hawkins, and Jesela Ford.

To My Sweet Sister,
Having you as a sister was one of the greatest blessings. Nothing can ever replace the love that I have for you. Not only were you my sister, but you were also my favorite person, my best friend, my protector, my shopping buddy, phone buddy, business partner, namesake, and most of all, you were the person I looked up to my whole life. Only you understood how much you meant to me. We share a bond that can never be broken. I am not sure how life is supposed to go without you. Sister, you have always made sure I was well taken care of, but I guess God needed his Angel more. Your name will forever be spoken daily.
Love you always and forever,
Maggie (Tree).
