Fordia was a life-long Christian and was a member of Calvary Baptist Church in Wilburton, Oklahoma, and then after her move to Pawnee became a member of the Pawnee First United Methodist Church. Her life is a shining example of living out Jesus’s commandments in Matthew 22: 37-39. She loved the Lord and she loved her neighbors. Most of her life was spent as a homemaker, and she worked as a real-estate broker after her children were grown. She loved all manner of handicrafts and took pride in making beautiful things and creating a beautiful home. To her, by far, the most beautiful thing that she ever created was her family. She poured love into them every chance she had. Her family members, especially her grandchildren and their children were the stars in her sky. She was loving, adoring, and gracious to all who met her.
