Vicky Lynn (Shaull) Ford

Vicky Lynn (Shaull) Ford, 65, of Oklahoma City, passed away Wednesday, October 7, 2020. She was born in Pierre, SD to Walter Riley (Buster) and Iris (Bickford) Shaull Owensby on March 28, 1955. She graduated from Tonkawa High School in 1973. She was a varsity player on Tonkawa High School softball traveling team, homecoming queen her senior year, active in chorus and a cheerleader. She was also a fantastic basketball player in high school starting on varsity all three years. She led her team to district and regional championships during her senior year and to what was then Tonkawa’s first trip to the girl’s area championship. In that senior year she was the top scorer for the state, and went on to hold the single game scoring record (she scored 51 points in one spectacular game against Newkirk) for almost 15 years at Tonkawa High after she graduated.

She married J. R. Ford on December 10, 1978. Vicky welcomed J.R.’s son Casey into their lives. Vicky and J.R. had two children who were the joy and center of their life – a son, Chad Tyler, and a daughter, Kelli Rae. Their house was always a place where you went to have a great time, with fabulous parties for Halloween, birthday parties for all in their family & lots of other celebrations – the perfect hosts. Vicky dedicated her life to her children and was a homemaker for most of her life, working at Carter’s for the last several years.
