Glendora Ford Obituary – Fayetteville, NC: Kingdom Impact Global Ministries Mourns the Passing of Beloved 1st Lady
FAYETTEVILLE, NC — A profound sense of grief has fallen upon the congregation of Kingdom Impact Global Ministries and the broader Fayetteville community following the passing of 1st Lady Glendora Ford, a beloved spiritual leader, devoted wife, and cherished pillar of faith. Lady Ford’s transition has left her church family and countless others heartbroken, yet deeply grateful for the lasting legacy of love, wisdom, and service she leaves behind.
Her passing was recently announced by Kingdom Impact Global Ministries, where she faithfully served alongside her husband, Pastor Terry Ford, as a guiding light to the ministry and to the lives of many.
A Life Devoted to Faith, Family, and Service
Lady Glendora Ford was more than a title or a role — she was a true servant-leader, admired for her unwavering faith, gentle strength, and nurturing spirit. As 1st Lady of Kingdom Impact Global Ministries, she was known for her powerful presence in prayer, her compassionate outreach to those in need, and her deep commitment to empowering women and families within the church and beyond.
For years, she supported her husband’s pastoral mission not only as a partner in ministry but as a spiritual mother to the congregation. Whether through women’s ministry events, prayer gatherings, community outreach, or quiet one-on-one encouragement, Lady Ford embodied the heart of the church.
Her faith was not only spoken, but lived. Her life was a testimony to the love of Christ — humble in demeanor, radiant in love, and firm in truth.
A Profound Loss for Kingdom Impact Global Ministries
In a heartfelt statement, Kingdom Impact Global Ministries expressed the collective sorrow of its members:
“With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved 1st Lady, Glendora Ford. She was a woman of remarkable grace, dignity, and spiritual strength. Her leadership, prayers, and love will be deeply missed by all who were blessed to know her. She has fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith. We rejoice in knowing she is with the Lord.”
The church has since become a place of mourning and reflection, with many stopping by to light candles, leave flowers, and share stories of Lady Ford’s impact on their lives. The sanctuary, where she so often stood in prayer and praise, now holds her memory in every corner.
Remembering Her Legacy
Lady Glendora Ford leaves behind a legacy that cannot be measured in mere words. She was a wife, mother, mentor, counselor, teacher, and a true example of Christian love. Her influence touched generations — from the children she greeted with open arms, to the women she mentored with wisdom and truth, to the brokenhearted she comforted with prayer and presence.
Members of the community describe her as a woman of “gentle authority,” someone who could calm storms with a few words and inspire transformation through her example. Her love extended far beyond the church walls, reaching into shelters, hospitals, and neighborhoods where her compassion and generosity made a difference.
“She didn’t just preach faith — she walked it, lived it, and shared it with everyone she met,” said one church member. “To know Lady Ford was to feel seen, heard, and deeply loved.”
Honoring Her Memory
Plans are underway for a Homegoing Celebration to honor Lady Ford’s life and ministry. Kingdom Impact Global Ministries has invited friends, church partners, and community members to join in this sacred moment to remember and celebrate the extraordinary woman who helped shape the spiritual fabric of Fayetteville.
In addition, the ministry has announced the creation of The Glendora Ford Legacy Foundation, which will continue her work of spiritual mentoring, women’s empowerment, and faith-based outreach. The foundation aims to preserve her vision and heart for ministry by supporting initiatives that were dear to her.
Final Reflections
In the face of deep sorrow, there remains a profound sense of gratitude for the life of Lady Glendora Ford. Her journey of faith has inspired many, and her memory will live on in every prayer, every song, and every life she touched with God’s love.
Though the church now mourns her physical absence, they rejoice in the eternal truth she believed and lived — that death is not the end, but the beginning of everlasting peace in the presence of the Savior she so faithfully served.
Rest in the arms of the Lord, 1st Lady Glendora Ford. Your life was a ministry, your heart was a refuge, and your legacy will shine brightly in the generations to come.
