EMILY C. FORD
November 25, 1945 - December 4, 2021
Cornwall, NY

Emily C. Ford of Cornwall passed away on December 4, 2021, with her family at her side, at MSLC Hospital in Newburgh NY. She was 76 years of age.

The daughter of Lawrence and Bridget (Murray) LaPierre, Emily was born on November 25, 1945 in Brooklyn NY, where she later attended Midwood H.S. In 1974 Emily and her family moved to Cornwall, NY, where Emily was employed as a housing clerk for the USMA West Point before retiring. An avid NY Met and Islander fan, her home was, for forty-seven years, filled with pets of all kinds, both strays and adopted.

Emily was the earth, the moon and the stars to her loving family. Her love, support and friendship simply cannot be replaced and will be missed every day of our lives. Sleep gently, our sweet love.

Emily is survived by her heartbroken husband: William at home; her daughter: Bridget E. (Ford) Key and her husband Christopher of Lodi, NJ; and her sister: Patricia E. Evans of Colorado Springs, CO. Also, her friend Sabina and Emily's beloved felines Molly and Marcus. Emily was predeceased by her parents, and brother: Lawrence F. LaPierre.
