Tributes To Del Ward
Across social media users’ timelines are statements that show respect, admiration, and gratitude towards Ward as people mourn the passing.
I am very saddened to hear the news of the passing of my friend, Del Ward. She was very instrumental in my television career. I first met Del in the 1980s. I was in my late 20s and had recently moved back to Macon from Atlanta with my family. I immediately became involved in the newly blossoming Cherry Blossom Festival and met Del at one of the events. She asked if I would be willing to decorate her “Date with Del” set for Christmas. “Of course!” I said. As if anyone could ever say no to Del. decorated it each Christmas for several years. She invited me to be a guest on her show each year for the highly anticipated unveiling so I could explain the decorations I had designed and created. In early December of 1994, while I was at the studio just finishing her live show, WMAZ’s Don McGouirk sent word for me to drop by his office. I thought I had done something wrong. Instead, he wanted me to become a regular part of the Saturday Weekend Mornin’ Show, sharing creative and decorating ideas along with tasty recipes. The segment was simply called, “The Artist” and morphed into much more than I ever imagined including one-hour Christmas Specials and live remotes on Wednesday afternoons. I spent many years of Saturdays on set at the WMAZ studios. I would often tell Del she was responsible for my television career. She was always so humble and brushed it off. Last year we were asked to send Del a birthday card. I again thanked her for enlisting me to decorate her famous set. Here’s the card she sent back. I always loved Del and she will be missed throughout all of Middle Georgia. As Del would end her show, I will end this post with “Trody Trow.”
Del Ward has passed away. I think everyone in Middle Georgia was on her show at one time or another. Del was an Institution. An Icon of Television all through our lives. She started in Radio, as many of the greats did back then. Trodie Tro!
