She led her rink of Darlene Kidd, Leslie Beck and sister Cindy to a provincial championship, defeating Marla Miller in the Saskatchewan junior final.

[5] The team then went on to represent Saskatchewan at the 1990 Canadian Junior Curling Championships, played in the Sudbury, Ontario suburb of Garson.

Ford led her team to an 8–2 round robin record, and then won both their playoff games, including Manitoba's Nancy Malanchuk rink in the final.

As the fifth player, Ford subbed in for the team's final round robin game after third Jan Betker suffered a pulled left quadriceps.

At the Worlds, Ford replaced an ailing Betker, who had a pulled abductor muscle in their games against the United States[8] Japan,[9] and Scotland.

A year after the Olympics, Ford defeated Schmirler in the Regina playdowns to qualify for the 1999 Saskatchewan Scott Tournament of Hearts, her first provincial championship appearance as a skip.

This was done because Ford displaced eight ribs after falling on her shoulder at the 2003 Canada Cup of Curling, held earlier that month, meaning her ability to sweep would be hindered.

[21] Ford returned to the Alberta Hearts in 2007 with two members of the previous Nedohin team (Lawnie MacDonald and Rona Pasika), plus Renee Keane, all of whom were new mothers.
