Nona Ford
November 21, 1933 — September 8, 2021
Nonie (Nona) Jean Erickson Ford passed away peacefully on September 8th, 2021 at the age of 87. Nonie was born November 21, 1933 in Murray, Utah to Lester Erickson and Winona Stokes. She attended Granite High School and worked various jobs throughout her life as a secretary, restaurant manager, and seamstress.
Nonie dedicated her life to being a wonderful Mother, Sister, and Grandmother. She will be remembered for her love of sewing; it was her passion in life. She spent many early mornings at her sewing machine creating beautiful drapes, quilts, and various other pieces with the utmost care and love. She loved playing and watching sports. She was a member of many bowling leagues throughout her life and was the loudest cheerleader when supporting her family. She also enjoyed camping and fishing with her family whenever she had the chance. Nonie was known to be a thoughtful and giving person and was able to make friends easily and become an essential part of their lives.
She dedicated her life to her children & grandchildren. She never missed an opportunity to support or spend time with them. The relationships she shared with each of them were very special. Her family had the wonderful privilege of taking care of her towards the end of her life and the memories made during that time will always be cherished
Nonie was a lifelong member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You could never mistake her singing voice in the congregation, and she loved listening to the Tabernacle Choir. She especially enjoyed serving the Young Women’s groups at camp, sports and other recreational activities.
She is Survived by her 3 children: Steve (Lorreen) Jacobson, Paul (Susan) Jacobson, Jeanni (Jason) Callaway, 4 stepchildren: Elaine, Howard, Brent and Karl, 26 grandchildren, and several great-grandchildren.
She is preceded in death by her daughter Toni Jacobson and 5 brothers.
The family extends a warm heart of gratitude to all of the staff at Beehive Home in Payson and the wonderful nurses at Bristol Hospice.
