In Loving Memory of Lillian Beach Proctor

“Our beloved Mother, Grandmother, Lill and Aunt Lill”

Lillian Beach Proctor, was born to the late Moses Beach and Essie Lucas Beach on August 6, 1931 in Prince Georges County, Maryland. She entered into eternal rest at Ft. Washington Health Center on November 18, 2018.

Lillian was raised in Oxon Hill, Maryland. She attended school in the Prince Georges County Public School System. In school, she maintained good grades and played sports. She learned a lot through life experiences, some hard at times others from fortunate circumstances. Lillian developed a work ethic, a love of God, a respect for people and a kind and charitable attitude that served her well during her life on earth. She never hesitated helping anyone in need. 

As a young child, Lillian was baptized at St. Paul United Methodist Church. She had a beautiful walk with the Lord and placed her complete trust in the promises of God. All her life experiences were under the watchful eye of her loving and merciful Savior. She enjoyed attending church and serving as an usher at St. Paul United Methodist Church. She began ushering in 1951 and continued until she was no longer able.  

In the 1950s Lillian met and courted John Whittington. From this union four sons were born.  During the 1950s she also gained employment with the Prince Georges County School Board as a custodian. She rose through the ranks and ended her 40 year career in May 1994 as a Custodial Supervisor. After working a hard day, she enjoyed relaxing, cooking, eating crabs, talking on the telephone, watching soap operas, reality shows, movies and enjoying family and friends.  

Lillian was greatly affected by the death of her two sons, Don Beach in 2003 and Anthony “Bo-Bo” Beach in 2013.  However, Lillian remained strong and never lost heart and neither was her indomitable faith in the Lord Jesus shaken.  

Realizing God never makes a mistake, the family humbly bows to God’s will and accepts that Lillian Beach Proctor’s work on earth is now complete. She had seven siblings who preceded her in death; Thomas Beach, James Beach, Edna Simms, Louise Burch, Eunice Dorsey, Helen Mims and Kenneth Beach.  Left to cherish her loving memories are two devoted sons Elvis Beach (LaShaon) and Marvin Beach; granddaughters; Quiana, Takila, Michelle, Candie, Alexis and Aliyah. Grandsons; Elvis, Dion and the late Don Beach Jr. Numerous great-grandchildren; sister-in-law: Lula Beach; numerous nieces and nephews; other relatives, caring neighbors and special friends also survive Lillian.

The family is blessed to have had Lillian Beach Proctor as the matriarch of the family.  We bid an affectionate farewell to a life well lived and to a mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt and friend that was well loved.

Teresa M. Hardeman, 87, passed away at Hospice of Charles County on November 12, 2018.  Teresa was born on August 26, 1931, on Capitol Hill, Washington, DC to the late Thomas and Maybelle Dolan.  She attended St. Patrick's All Girls Academy in NW, Washington, DC.  She then went to work at the C&P Telephone Company.  It was during this time that her best friend set her up on a blind date with the handsome and charming future love of her life, Charles (Chuck) Hardeman, a young Airmen stationed at The Pentagon in DC. When it was time for Chuck to effect a permanent change of duty station, Teresa waited a year to join him in Albuquerque, NM where they married in the Fall of 1950.  As the wife of a career Airman, Teresa soon found herself back in her hometown of Washington, DC where her first daughter was born.  Again, she and Chuck were on the move and landed in Sacramento, CA.  It was here that the trajectory of her life was forever changed as she contracted polio myelitis, which necessitated a move back to the Washington area to be close to family while recovering.  Teresa’s strength and determination were key in her near full-recovery, and she would go on to have two more daughters and a son.  Despite the physical challenges Teresa faced, she maintained and nurtured her love of swimming, begun as a child where her summers were spent at Herald Harbor Beach near Annapolis, Maryland.  This activity played out with her four children where the love of water sports was enjoyed by them all at community swimming pools, and trips to Herald Harbor, to name a few.  Teresa is also remembered for being an attentive nurse to her children through childhood illnesses; a consequence of her experiences due to her own multiple illnesses.  Teresa’s love for her children was second only to her passion for hospitality.  Creating a warm and welcoming home is the source of many memories her family will cherish. Moving every three years afforded Teresa and Chuck, along with their four children to explore both in the United States, and in Europe.  Most memorable of those duty stations was in Germany, where along with adding to her brood with babies' number three and four, Teresa enjoyed visits to Rome, Brussels, Paris, Madurodam, Copenhagen, Black Forest, Bavaria, and countless castles all over Germany. Teresa’s favorite pastimes include boating, swimming, house plants, reading, playing cards and board games, especially with her family.   

Teresa Hardeman was the beloved wife of the late Charles R. Hardeman. She is survived by her children, Debra A. (Winston) Cannon, Cynthia Boyd, Charles R. (Deborah) Hardeman, Jr., and the late Linda Hardeman, and her sister, Frances Ball. Teresa is also survived by 12 grandchildren and 24 great-grandchildren and a host of nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her siblings, Catherine Jackson and Thomas Dolan, and her parents, Thomas and Maybelle Dolan.
