In Memorial of our Minister Emeritus
Rev.
Ronald (Ron) I. Maund
Rev. Ronald (Ron) I. Maund passed
away at The Moncton Hospital on Tuesday, January 30, 2018. Born in
Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island in 1942, he was the oldest son of the late
Ivan and Violet (Smith) Maund.
Ron was a graduate of Mount Allison
University and Pine Hill Divinity Hall and was ordained by the United Church of
Canada in 1968. He served in the North Highlands Pastoral Charge, Cape
North, NS, Central and Mountain View United Churches in Moncton, and was
instrumental in the development of the Pastoral Care Department of The Moncton
Hospital where he served for many years. He was also Minister Emeritus at Mount Royal United Church in recognition of his selfless giving to that congregation. Most recently he was the United
Church Chaplain for the Greater Moncton Hospitals Chaplaincy. Always
available in an emergency, Ron was well known in various other congregations
either as a supply minister or offering pastoral care services. He was
active in both Maritime Conference and Chignecto Presbytery, and in many
community organizations in the Greater Moncton area and beyond.
Ron is survived by his wife of 51
years, Ilene (Norrie), daughters Deborah Maund and Jennifer Vandenberg (Mike),
grandsons Elias, Seth, and Jakob. He is also survived by his brothers
Donald, Winston (Kathy), Gary (Marjorie), sister-in-law Valerie, eight dear
nieces and nephews and eight great nieces and nephews.
Ron was a devoted husband, dad,
grampy, brother, uncle, pastor, and friend who touched many lives during his
fifty years of ministry.
A Celebration of Ron’s Life was
held at Park Royal United Church, 11 Christie
Drive, Charlottetown, PE, on Friday, February 2nd, 2018 followed by a time of fellowship and sharing of memories. Rev. Kevin
MacKenzie and Rev. William MacLeod officiated.
