It is with much sorrow that we announce the passing of Elizabeth “Betty” A. Ford. She passed away quietly and peacefully on Nov. 27, 2011, in Bullhead City, Ariz. after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease.

My sympathies to all of Betty's family at this sad time. I remember being at the Ford's all the time as a childhood friend of Kristin's, and both Bud and Betty were great friends of my parents. I am so sorry for your loss. Becky (Smith) Vork
