Mallory Isabelle Ford

Mallory Isabelle Ford, 9 years old, was granted her angel wings at her residence in Morton, Illinois, Friday, December 16, 2016. Mallory was always called our little angel since she was a baby. Although Mallory’s illness made her frail, she had overcome many obstacles in her challenging life. She was born on November 30, 2007 in Peoria, Illinois to Adam and Heather (Wolf) Ford.

Mallory leaves behind her parents Heather Ford of Morton, Illinois and her father, Adam Ford of North Carolina; sister Shelby; brother Grant; paternal grandparents Kurt and Rhea Wolf of Dunlap; maternal grandparents Alan and Linda Kuperferschmid; Aunt Tiffany Bays; Uncle Johnathan (Madeline) Wolf; Uncle Joseph Wolf; Uncle Jared (Jesssica) Ford; Uncle Mike Oberturf and numerous cousins.

She leaves behind many wonderful people who gave her love and support throughout her short life. Although Mallory had Rett Syndrome which did not allow her to walk or talk, she had the biggest smile and cutest giggles. She loved music, Elmo and Mickey Mouse. She will remain in so many of our hearts. She previously went to the Dunlap Banner Elementary School and was presently in the 3rd grade at the Schramm Education Center in Pekin, Illinois.
