Obituary of Rev: Eugene Victor Moriarty

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Eugene Victor Moriarty. Vic was born in Westville Nova Scotia on July 23rd, 1916, the son of Malcolm and Irene Moriarty (nee Murray). He grew up in New Glasgow and went on to attend Mount Allison University. He graduated from Pine Hill Divinity School, now the Atlantic School of Theology in 1943, and he was married the same year to Jean (Murray) of Sussex NB. His initial seven point charge began Easter Sunday in the central NB community of Boiestown. This was followed by moves to Plaster Rock NB, North Sydney NS, Montreal PQ, and Halifax NS, establishing many great friendships along the way. During his last ten years of ministry, he was the Executive Director of the institute for pastoral Training. He was responsible for the establishment of Pastoral Care Departments in hospitals, nursing homes, and prisons in the four Atlantic provinces until he retired in 1983. During their retirement in Fredericton, Vic and Jean became very involved in Wilmot United Church, helping to establish a very active seniors group. Due to his involvement in this and many other church activities, Vic was named Minister Emeritus of Wilmot United Church. Jean and Vic relocated to Moncton in 2001 to be closer to family. He was predeceased by Jean, his wife of 60 years, in 2004. He is survived by his children: Margaret (Paul) Bowen, Carolyn (Jim) Gerrish, Peter (Alice) Moriarty, Alan (Susan) Moriarty, David Moriarty (Elizabeth Henderson); grandchildren: Stephen (Heather) Bowen, Jennifer Bowen (Michael Tlusty), Blake Gerrish, Lindsey Gerrish, Matthew (Jennifer) Moriarty, Mark Moriarty, Megan Moriarty; great grandchildren: Emily Bowen, Katrina Adair Gerrish, Katherine Bowen and Georgia Moriarty.
