Sandy Carolyn McCluskey Ford, a woman of unwavering love and boundless compassion, peacefully passed away on March 18, 2024, in Fort Worth, Texas, surrounded by her family. Born on March 4, 1957, in Pulaski, Tennessee, to John Hartsel McCluskey and Icee Laverne Harris McCluskey, Sandy's journey was marked by profound connections and enduring relationships.
Sandy's legacy is carried on by her devoted son, Frankie Ford, her cherished granddaughter, Avery G. Ford, her brother Roger McCluskey and his wife Francis, and her brother Johnny McCluskey, as well as numerous extended family members and friends who were touched by her warmth and kindness.
In 1978, Sandy married the love of her life, Alan Ford, and together they shared a bond that transcended time. Their marriage was a testament to love's enduring power, enduring until Alan's passing in January 2016. Throughout their years together, Sandy exemplified the true essence of partnership and commitment, standing by Alan's side through thick and thin.
As a mother, Sandy was the epitome of selflessness, dedicating herself wholeheartedly to the care and nurturing of her son, Frankie. Her love knew no bounds as she guided him through life's challenges with unwavering support and encouragement. Frankie's daughter, Avery, brought immense joy and pride to Sandy's life, and she cherished every moment spent with her beloved granddaughter.
Sandy's kind heart extended beyond her immediate family, touching the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her generosity knew no bounds, and she was always ready to lend a helping hand to those in need. Sandy's compassion was evident in her love for animals, particularly her faithful companion, Bella, who brought her endless joy and companionship over the years.
In her leisure time, Sandy found solace in simple pleasures—playing with her iPad, indulging in her favorite soap operas, and savoring moments spent with her loved ones. Her laughter and warmth filled every room she entered, leaving an indelible mark on all who crossed her path.
A graveside service to honor Sandy's life will be held at Azleland Cemetery on Monday, March 25, 2024, at 2:00 PM. As we gather to bid farewell to a remarkable woman, may we find comfort in the memories we shared and take solace in knowing that Sandy's spirit will live on in the hearts of all who loved her.
Sandy's legacy of love and compassion will continue to inspire us all, guiding us toward a brighter tomorrow filled with kindness and understanding. May she rest in peace, reunited with her beloved husband Alan and her parents, in the eternal embrace of heaven.
