Edouarde’s journey began in Camp-Perrin, Haiti, which she kept close to her heart since moving to Maryland with her daughter, Natacha, for the past 25 years. She lived a life filled with faith, warmth, and close connections with family and friends.

Edouarde worked hard most of her life, ensuring her children received the best education and were always well off. Her love for her family and friends had no boundaries.

To those who had the privilege of knowing her, she taught the meaning of unconditional love. Her legacy is one of hard work, perseverance, dedication, and joy from living life fully.
