Kathy Ford Wilson

9/10/1966 – 5/6/2014

Kathy Ford Wilson, 47, passed away Tuesday, May 6, 2014.

She was born September 10, 1966 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Richard Smedley and Sharon Taylor Ford.  Kathy spent her elementary years living in Bountiful, Utah.  Her family moved to Centerville in 1977 where she spent her adolescent years, graduating from Viewmont High School.

She was employed by First Security Financial as a teller.  Kathy met her husband, Kevin P. Wilson in the Centerville Singles Ward.  They were sealed as husband and wife, for time and all eternity, on March 2, 1988 in the Salt Lake Temple.  They lived in Bountiful and Kaysville the first 10 years of marriage before settling in their present home in Syracuse, Utah.

Upon the birth of her first child, Kathy became a stay at home mother, instilling her values upon her children.  A year prior to her oldest son’s LDS mission, she went back to work as a bus driver for the Davis School District.  She selected a handicapped route where she had a soft spot for the children she served.  She loved to create memories by organizing parties and games for special occasions.  Then she would scrapbook those memories for her family.  She loved the outdoors and planned the family vacations.

She was active in her faith, valiant in covenants.  She served in many church callings as ward and stake Young Women’s President.  She was often volunteering to teach classes with the Primary children.  She lived life by serving her family and friends.  Those that she met soon became a friend.

Surviving are her husband, sons, Tyler (Megan), Joshua, daughters, Brianna, Brooke, siblings, Robert (Ellen) Ford, Sheri (Reed) Tidwell, Brad (Anni) Ford and many nieces and nephews.

Preceded in death by her grandparents.

Funeral services will be held Saturday, May 10, 2014 at 11 a.m. at the Syracuse Stake Center, 1350 S. 1800 W., Syracuse. Friends may visit family Friday from 6 to 8 p.m. at Lindquist’s Layton Mortuary, 1867 No. Fairfield Road and Saturday from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. at the church.  Interment, Syracuse City Cemetery.

We would like to thank those friends and family that served Kathy to the end.  A special thanks to Dr. Harold Johnson and his nursing staff at Utah Hematology Oncology for their loving care and treatment during Kathy’s battle with colon cancer.
