Edward Jerome Medeiros' Obituary
Edward J. Medeiros, age 81, died of complications of pneumonia, on January 4, 2023, in Beltsville, Maryland.
Edward is survived by his wife, Judith Medeiros, and his three children, Patricia, John, and Sandra. He was preceded in death by his parents, Earl and Stella Medeiros, and his niece, Shannon Johnson.
Edward was born on June 30, 1941 in California. He graduated from San Diego State University in 1974 with a Masters of Science in Astronomy. Edward and Judith married in June 1973 and in 1978 moved from California to make Maryland their home. Edward worked for the Computer Science Corporation until his retirement in 2012. His service included work on the guidance system of the Hubble Space Telescope.
Edward enjoyed astronomy, books, and all things that interested his children. He volunteered as a Girl Scout troop leader, running his children’s high school band association, and attending every fieldtrip he could. Edward liked to laugh, watch either historical documentaries or SpongeBob SquarePants (there was no middle ground here), and will be fondly remembered as “Dad” or “Mr. Ed” to many.
There will be no funeral services. A Mass intention has been scheduled for June 25, 2023 at 9:30am at Our Lady of the Fields Church in Millersville Maryland.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Edwards name can be made to San Diego State University with a designation to the Mount Laguna Observatory.
