ECU named her a Distinguished Alumna in 1992, 2007年, honored her with the Distinguished Philanthropist Award for her many gifts to the university. The award in future years will be named the Hallie Brown ford Award for Philanthropy.
Ford was born in Red Ford, Indian Territory, on March 17, 1905. She was valedictorian of her graduating class at Beggs High School and put herself through ECU, graduating in 1930 with a teaching certificate. She taught briefly in Oklahoma, then followed her parents to Oregon and taught in the Lebanon area. 她嫁给了肯尼斯·W. Ford in 1935 and moved to Roseburg, Oregon. She played an active role with him in establishing and growing Roseburg Lumber Co., now known as Roseburg Forest Products Co.
