Gail W. Ford

Gail W. Ford, a beloved mother, grandmother, sister and friend, passed away on November 6, 2026, at the age of 77. Born on May 2, 1949, in Rome, NY, Gail spent her life dedicated to her family and home, creating a warm and loving environment for all who knew her.

Gail is survived by her devoted daughter, Jessica Burk and husband Clifford of Cooperstown; six grandchildren, Noah Burk, Luke Burk, Benjamin Burk, Skyler Ford, Jayde Hoban; and a “favorite” brother, James Wise and wife Linda of Wisconsin.

She cherished her family above all, especially finding joy in attending her grandchildren’s sporting events. Gail had a special bond with her beloved dog, Moose, and delighted in the beauty of butterflies, often spotting them on warm summer days.

Mrs. Ford was a member of the Bradleytown Community Church and was active with Nar-Anon. She enjoyed playing guitar and watching her “pet ducks”.

She was preceded in death by her parents William and Mary Nablo Wise, her husband Schuyler Ford, a son, Daniel Ford, and an infant grandson, Asher Burk.

Gail lived her life practicing her belief that God is Love.
