Eugene Lanham Ford was born December 27, 1931, in Parker County, Texas, to James Marye Ford and Myrtle Alma McQueen Ford, and passed from this life into his eternal heavenly home on December 21, 2021, in Enid, Oklahoma.

He graduated from Weatherford High School, Weatherford, Texas, in 1948, and met the love of his life, Alma Bailey, in 1949, and married her on March 6, 1955. In between, he served his country from 1951 to 1955, during the Korean Conflict, aboard the USS Toledo. Lanham attended Texas Christian University and obtained a Bachelor’s degree in accounting. He became a Certified Public Accountant from which he retired in 2005. He was a man of great faith who served the Lord in many capacities over his almost 90 years. Many called him Sunday School teacher, Brother Ford, and deacon. After his retirement he served as a supply pastor for several small churches in the Enid area.
