Esterline Ford

Esterline Ford was born on November 21, 1969, in the Red Bluff community of Horry County, South Carolina, to Willie Mae Wilson and Samuel Dewitt. On Tuesday, April 21, 2026, God in His infinite wisdom decided it was time for her to leave everything behind and follow Him.   

Esterline was educated in the public schools of Horry County and graduated from Loris High School. She was employed at the Landmark Resort in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, as Head Housekeeper. She also attended McNeil Chapel Missionary Baptist Church. 

When time permitted, she loved cooking, tending her garden and flowers, dancing, having fun, and, most importantly, spending time with her grandchildren. 

She was preceded in death by her father, Samuel Dewitt; adoptive mother, Earnestine Ford; a son, Jerome Timmons; a daughter, Jessica Ford; a brother, Rev. Dr. Ronnie Ford; and a sister, Pauline Ford. 

Esterline will forever be remembered by her mother, Willie Mae Wilson; her daughters, Darlene Ford, Jasmine Ford, and Veronica Ford (Prince) Sarpong, all of Conway, South Carolina; her son, Joseph Timmons of Conway, South Carolina; two brothers, Ricky (Tonya) Bellamy and Jimmy Bellamy, both of Red Bluff, South Carolina; along with additional family members and friends, Franchesha  and family, Tiffany James and family, Janice Young and family, Gladys and Frank Sarpong, Cosenia Gowans and family, and a host of nieces, nephews, others relatives and friends.
