Theresa Ford

Theresa “Cookie” Ford, of Weymouth, passed away peacefully on July 4, 2025, at the age of 78. She was pre-deceased by her husband of 57 years, Stephen Ford. A beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, Cookie’s warmth and generosity left a lasting impression on all who knew her.

She worked as a Real Estate agent for many years, helping many achieve home ownership. For 45 years, Cookie was a devoted Jehovah’s Witness, finding her greatest joy in the Bible education work that defined her life. She touched the lives of many with her faith and love for spiritual truth.

Cookie was well known for her loving nature, laughter, and her endless hospitality. She loved feeding others and made everyone feel at home. Her love for people was returned many times over through the deep bonds she shared with her family and friends.

Cookie cherished her role as a mother and grandmother. Seeing her children living happy, fulfilling lives brought her great happiness. Her presence will be deeply missed, but her legacy of kindness and joy lives on in those she touched.

She is survived by her loving children: Collette McElhinney and her husband Stephen, Stephen Ford and his wife Kathleen, and Nicole Easler and her husband Erik. She also leaves behind six beloved grandchildren: Ryan McElhinney and his wife Lindsay, Erin McElhinney, Sean McElhinney, Braeden Ford, Celia Ford, Nathan Ford.
