Barbara Ann Wolford
July 1, 1957 – August 8, 2025
Barbara Ann Wolford, beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully on August 8, 2025, at the age of 68. Born on July 1, 1957, to Kenneth and Marjorie Ford of Cambridge, Ohio, Barbara lived her life with an unstoppable spirit—fun-loving, fiercely tough, and always paving her own path.
For the past 30 years, she made her home in Mocksville, North Carolina, where she built a life filled with family, friendship, and laughter. Barbara was a proud and devoted mother to her three children, who were the center of her world. She poured her heart into raising them, teaching by example what strength, kindness, and perseverance truly mean. Her laughter could light up a room, her determination could move mountains, and her love was boundless.
She is survived by her brother, Dave Ford, three sons, Kelly, Matthew, and Jacob, and two grandchildren, Natalie and Lucas, whom she loved dearly and unconditionally. Barbara’s passing leaves a space that cannot be filled, but her legacy will live on in the hearts of those who loved her.
Her children and grandchildren will remember her not only as their mother and grandmother, but as their hero—the one who taught them to stand tall, speak up, and live fully. She will be deeply missed and forever loved.
A private family gathering will be held to celebrate her life.
Kelly, Matt and Jacob,
We are so very sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. She was always welcoming, loving and caring to our family and she will be greatly missed. Our sympathies, thoughts and prayers go out to you and your families. Much love and hugs.
Misty and Darin Allman
