Paul Joseph Ford of Marksville gained his heavenly healing on Saturday, June 16, 2018, at the age of 86, after a lengthy illness. He was born on October 27, 1931, to the late Milton, Sr. and Georgia Guillot Ford of Marksville. Paul served in the U.S. Army in 1952, on the front line during the Korean Conflict, and was honorably discharged in 1954 at the rank of Sergeant.
Paul was always known to be a hard worker and willing to lend a helping hand to anyone. No incident in his life is truer than when Paul willingly opened his heart and home to five brothers-in-law caring and providing for them as he did with his own children.
Also, preceding Paul in death were sisters, Julia Jacob, Lillian Lonzo, Josephine Batiste and Sable Collins; brothers Eddie, Milton Sr., Shafter Sr., Lyman Sr.; and a precious great-granddaughter, Ainslee Adams.
He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Beatrice McGlory; five daughters, Louise (Rudy) Smith of Rocklin, California, Elaine F. Adams of Bossier City, Betty (John) Augustine of Marksville, Jennifer Warfield of Biloxi, Mississippi, and Paula (Monte) Jackson of Crestview, Florida; one son, Paul Lynn Ford of Houston, Texas; one brother, Charles Ford of Hessmer; a brother-in-law, Shelton McGlory; sister-in-law, Norma Jacob; 10 grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren; and a host of nieces, nephews and life-long friends.
