Amy Ford-Hulen

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Amy Laura Ford-Hulen, 55, of Savannah, on Saturday, Jan. 25, when she opened her eyes to God’s face. Amy was born Nov. 6, 1969, in Florence Alabama, to the late Barney Faye Ford and the late Mary Catherine Mabry Horton.
She was united in matrimony on July 29, 1989, to Joel Anthony Hulen, who survives.
She is survived by one brother, David Carroll Ford (Deanna). She is also survived by her children, Jack Carroll Hulen (Marissa) and Noah Ford Hulen (Tyler.) She was blessed to be their mother.
She was also honored to be the honorary mother to Julie Anne White ( Zane). She was a mother, sister, wife, cook, and friend. She took on her favorite title, M’Amy, in 2021.
She is survived by her grandchildren, Oliver Finn Hulen, Daesyn Creed Pitts, Anslee Corbyn Hulen-Pitts, Presleigh Mae-Hunter White, Beckett Gianna-Maryn Pitts, Charlotte May Hulen, and Ruby Laura White. She is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews.
In addition to her parents, she was proceeded in death by three grandchildren, Maislyn Blake Pitts, Halstyn Cruz Pitts and Kohen James White.
Amy was a servant of the Lord and that was shown to every soul she came in contact with. No one who met Amy forgot her infectious passion for cooking, for children, and most of all being a M’Amy. She had 20 plus years of selfless service as a social worker, and mentor. In addition to her service Amy was a cook. Amy used her gift of cooking as a light to others. Amy’s desire to bless others with the talent and ability that God gave her. She loved and truly had a servants heart. She is the definition of loving God, loving others. Amy always had a pot on the stove for anyone who needed a meal and if she didn’t then she’d put one on. Amy had a seat for anyone and everyone at her table. If you didn’t have a table to eat at, Amy gave you one to join. Although Amy is cooking her yums for her Lord, family, friends, and strangers in heaven, they will not be forgotten here.
Amy’s biggest passion of all was being a grandmother. Amy’s will for facing the biggest battle of her life was her babies. Amy’s goal was to be healthy for them. Amy reached that goal, she is happy, healthy, healed, most importantly at peace. “Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened, although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.”
