Gifts & Memorial Donations

Captola P. Ward, “Cap” , “Tooley”, 92 of Hudson, Florida passed away peacefully on January 31, 2023 at her home.  She was born in Warren County, Kentucky and lived in Louisville and Shepherdsville Kentucky most of her life and up until retirement worked for Dr. Elmo Hughes.  She will always be remembered for her vibrant personality and wardrobe to match.  Over the years she loved her pet birds and dogs, and knew how to have fun – whether it was bowling, bingo, horse races, or cards.

Captola is survived by her daughters, Debbie Rice, (Wade), Mandy Rose (David), son Roger Ward (Sandy) ; grandchildren, Fred (Jennifer), Amanda, Heather (Craig), Dionna (Joey), Joe, and Toni (Derek) ; great-grandchildren, Clara, Joseph, Addison, Mattie, Gizselle, and Emily and her two granddogs Max and Rio. She is preceded in death by her parents Gene and Ida Grinstead, her husband Paul Ward, daughter Rebecca Ward, and eleven siblings.
Captola chose cremation and her celebration of life will be later this year.  In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the The Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s research or Oklahoma Center for Geroscience and Healthy Brain Aging.

    Gene Grinstead says:
    I have memories of holidays when all the Grinstead family would gather at Grandma Grinstead’s to eat and enjoy the time together. I guess my aunt Captola was my daddy’s favorite, he spoke of her often. I remember my mother and father taking me with them to see Paul Ward shortly before his death. To me she always seemed to get the most out of life. RIP
