Eileen Laura Ford

Eileen Laura Ford

Eileen was born on January 22, 1932 in San Jose, California where she
attended various schools including Abraham Lincoln High School.
Eileen passed away at her home in Napa on December 26, 2021.
Eileen was working at Long’s Drug store in San Jose where she met her
future husband James William Ford. After a short courtship, they were
married at Saint Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church on December 26,
1953 in Reno, Nevada.

Shortly after their marriage, Jim joined the Army and was stationed at
various locations around the country and overseas. Being married to a
military officer gave Eileen the opportunity to make a new home for her
family wherever they were stationed. In later years, Jim and Eileen split
their time in Napa and Palm Springs, two of their favorite home
locations.

Eileen is survived by her loving husband of 68 years, James (Jim) W.
Ford, her daughter Pamela Jabin (William), Napa; her daughter Debra
Lee Ford, Sonoma County and her son Jeffrey William Ford of Hana,
Maui. Grandchildren Amy, Holly, Tara and Krista and eight great-
grandchildren; Aidan, Andrew, Haylee, Colton, Austin, Anthony, Jace
and Penelope.

The family would like to thank Collabria Hospice and especially
Rebecca. Love and Joy Care that provided caretaker services for her and
especially Shalee.

The family will be having a private service at Tulocay Cemetery.
