On Thursday, May 17, 2018 Edward Douglas Ward peacefully went home to God with his wife Vondell Ward, grandson Keleye Jones and sister-in-law Jacqueline Simms at his side. Edward was born November 30, 1937 in Chadbourne, North Carolina to the late AJ Ward and Maryjane Nance Ward.

Edward had two brothers, William Ward, who predeceased him and Ashton Ward. Growing up he became a “brother” to cousins Meredith Peterson and Maxine Brown-Davis. He attended Chadbourn Elementary School and Chadbourne High School where he was a member of the football, basketball and baseball teams. He then matriculated to A&T University in Greensboro, North Carolina where he decided college was not for him. In 1956, Edward joined the Army and remained there through two tours of duty in Germany. He ended his military career after nine years of service in 1965.

During this time, he was married and became the father of Terence Douglas Ward and Edward Bernard Ward Jr.

Upon Edward’s honorable discharge from the military, he was employed by Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) formerly known as DC Transit System beginning as a bus operator and later a Station Manager. He maintained continuous service for more than thirty years and from which he retired twice. His first retirement was in 1996 and after a brief respite returned to work another five years as a part-time Station Manager. After military service, and while working at night for Metro, he took accounting classes during the day where he was known as a Math wiz.

Edward was a quiet man who loved children and seniors. In 1975, he met Vondell and became a special person to her family members. Her Aunt Flo, Florine Johnson, now 106 years old was one of his favorite people. As she aged, he would take her to doctor’s appointments and marketing. She loved him so much that she named him “Precious”.

Edward became a “father” to Vondell’s children, Michael, Yvette, Derek and Robbie Toogood. As Grandpa to their five children, he basked in their love while enjoying spending time with them. He was loved and treasured as a member of his wife’s family.

Sadly, his best friend, Richard Q. Lewis preceded him in 2015. After retirement they were inseparable. Together, they joined the American Legion Post 275, Glen Arden, MD and were members and supporters of the Amalgamed Transit Union Local 689.

 At least three times a week they would visit fellow Metro retirees and friends. Other days they would enjoy exploring Prince George’s County. They became landscape artist both at their homes and neighbor’s homes, much to their wives’ delight.

As a sports enthusiast, Edward would talk sports endlessly with his grandsons. His other passion was helping at “SHARE” at the parish center. Although, he was there monthly to get his package, he, when asked, would help whenever needed. He cherished the friendship and comradery of the volunteers.  
During his marriage to Vondell he became a Catholic and attended Mass at Most Holy Rosary Church in Upper Marlboro, MD for ten years.

Edward leaves to treasure and honor his memory: his loving wife, Vondell  Elizabeth Ward, and brother Ashton Eugene Ward (Andrietta); children: Terrence Douglas Ward, Edward Bernard Ward, Jr., Mansfield Michael Toogood, Charlotte Yvette Thomas (Calvin), Derek Manuel Toogood (Elizabeth), Robbie Bernard Toogood (Tia), and Marie Dyson; grandchildren: Channing Michelle Carter, Marcel Douglas Ward, Ralph Kozy Jones, Keleye Lamarr Jones (Connie), Euronne Nachelle Toogood, Vanity Vondell Toogood, Valentina Angelica Toogood, Lori Young ; great-grand children: Elijah Jones, Zahra Jones, Cory Toogood, Dameya Toogood and Lauryn Toogood. Aunt: Florine Johnson, niece: Joyce Epps (Joseph), and special friends: Nora Lewis, Henry Brown, Muriel and Margaret Humbles, Rosalind Harper and sister-in-law Jacqueline Simms who were extremely supportive during his illness. A host of cousins, Metro buddies, and special neighbors Eugene Rashlich, and Jerome Boatwright. Friends: Ronald Thompson, C.C. Miller and Denise Moore.

On May 17, 2018, Mrs. Visitacion (Betty) Lepesqueur passed away after an eight year battle with Alzheimer’s and five month diagnosis of Stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Born on July 1, 1932 in Manila, Philippines, Betty was considered the "brainiac" of her 12 other siblings, always choosing her studies over other pursuits. In 1963, she was awarded the Fulbright academic scholarship in Education to pursue her second Master’s of Arts degree at Columbia University building on her Master's of Arts degree in Education from University of Philippines which she received in 1962. At Columbia University, she was a member of the Kappa Delta Pi, Education Honor Society at Columbia University and graduated from Teachers College Program (aka her second Master of Arts degree) in December 1963.  It was also there that she met a young American gentleman from the Bronx with a Belgian-French last name, Raymond (Ray) Lepesqueur, Jr., son of Maj. Raymond August Lepesqueur, Sr., a mechanical engineer and decorated officer in the US Army. Ray saw Betty across the floor at a Valentine's Day dance in 1967. He pursued, she resisted, he persisted. They married a year later and they marked their 50th wedding anniversary together on May 4, 2018. 

Following their wedding, the couple moved to Fort Belvoir, VA where Ray, a Captain in the US Army, was then stationed. Shortly thereafter, they settled in the Tantallon area of Fort Washington, MD and raised two daughters, Michelle and Eloise. Ray was honorably discharged from active service in 1971. Betty taught in the Prince George's County Public Schools System, starting at Glassmanor Elementary and ending her career teaching at Francis T. Evans Elementary School by Andrews Air Force Base. Her dedication and passion for educating countless youth was apparent every day over her 28 year tenure in the PGCPS System.

In her spare time, Betty served as Prefect for Sodality of our Lady at St, Mary's of Piscataway, as President of the Southern Maryland Arts and Antiques Association SMAAA, and as a host at Suratts House Museum Visitor's Center. She was an avid gardener, loved lively political discourse, was addicted to both playing and watching tennis, took immense pride in her extraordinary culinary talents, was a lover of the arts and theater with memberships with the Kennedy Center, Arena Stage and Shakespeare Theater, was a consummate shopper (Macy’s already misses her) and an even better haggler, and was a world traveler always interested in seeing new places and experiencing new cultures. 

Betty lived life fully and with purpose. As Ray said, “My wife was a wonderful wife, mother, sister, and daughter. Her family meant everything to her. She also was one of the smartest people I’ve ever known. She was the first of her family to come to the States, a true trailblazer. I’ll never forget the moment I laid eyes on her and she is as gorgeous to me now as she was then.” She was an inspiration - as a woman, wife, mother and educator, paving the path for the future generations of Hilario and Lepesqueur women to be as fierce, passionate and strong as she was. 

She is preceded in her passing by beloved family members: her mother, Pacencia (Gozum) Hilario; father, Florencio Hilario; sister, Nora (Hilario) Crowley; brother, Roberto Hilario; brother, Ricardo Hilario; brother, Arturo Hilario; brother, Abelardo Hilario, and brother-in-law, Andy Custodio. She is survived by husband, Raymond August Lepesqueur, Jr.; daughter, Michelle Yannotti Wilson; grandsons Gino Yanotti II and Jack Wilson; daughter, Eloise Lepesqueur; brother, Rudolfo Hilario and his wife, Ming; brother, Renato Hilario, and his wife, Teresita; sister, Daisy (Hilario) Custodio; brother, Danilo Hilario and his wife, Lourdes; brother, Benjamino Hilario and his wife, Auring, sister, Susan Hilario; brother, Alfonso Hilario and his wife, Eleanor.

Hill, MD on Wednesday, May 30, 2018 from  2 to 4 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. Mass of Christian Burial will be offered at St. Columba Catholic Church, 7800 Livingston Rd., Oxon Hill, MD on Thursday, May 31, 2018 at 10 a.m. Interment Resurrection Cemetery in Clinton, MD.
