Edward Beard

Gentle soul, kindest heart.

Departing 87 profoundly blessed years of duties on earth, in the farming community he loved deeply, Edward Beard joined wife Bette, sons Dwayne and David, parents Earl and Miriam, great-granddaughter Lily, and so many other dear ones.

Missing him most: daughter Sandy, son-in-law Garry, daughters-in-law Lynn and Denise, grandchildren Miriam, Sam, Belle, Sophie, Nate, Josie, Eley, and Zeke; and great-grandsons Ethan, Memphis and Epic.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Carroll County Farm Museum would be meaningful. Please send checks payable to the Carroll County Farm Museum, at 500 South Center Street, Westminster, MD 21157, indicating “Ed Beard Conservation Fund” in the check memo line.
