Obituary for John Wade Ward
John Wade Ward, 97, of Havre de Grace, MD, passed away on October 3, 2013.
He was born in Ashe County, North Carolina, to the late Stephen and Della Moxley Ward. He was the husband of the late Gwendolyn Mae Richardson Ward and the loving father of Mary Jo Smith of Frankford, DE, Karen Ward Bird and her husband, Victor, of Drumore, PA, and former daughter-in-law Evelyn Boyd of Havre de Grace. He was preceded in death by two sons, Stanley Wade Ward and John Roy Ward. Mr. Ward was the grandfather of Sally Leonetti, Melody Hall, Sandra Graybeal, Carole Hawkins, Nelson Ward, and Kristen Ward.

He was ordained a deacon at Trappe Missionary Baptist Church on July 29, 1967 and later served as a deacon and trustee at Carsins Run Baptist Church for many years.
