2830. Ronald Edward Hyson (Violet Belle Hiltz10, Wilbert Paul9, Edward8, Mary Catherine Ernst7, Matthew6, Anna Dorothea Meisner5, Casper Meissner4, Johann Daniel Meysner3, Casper Meißner2, Thomas1) . Born on 3 Mar 1927 in Indian Point, Lunenburg Co., Nova Scotia, Canada. Ronald Edward died in Lunenburg, Lunenburg Co., Nova Scotia, Canada, on 10 Nov 2023; he was 96.
At the age of 17, dad joined the Merchant Marines in Halifax, NS. He served on the SS Oakmount Park as a galley assistant & deck mate until December 1945. Though he would tell you he enjoyed life on the water, there were times the rough seas had him feel otherwise. Among other places, his ship visits to the West Indie Islands spun the most stories with particular emphasis on his Jamaican adventures.
On the ship he acquired a ‘taste’ for cooking which included appropriate attention to cookware. Right up to present time he took pride in his personal frying pans having them always appear in new condition.
His stories included a strict galley routine of detailed dishwashing & hand drying. This left an indelible impression as he maintained these habits throughout his life. Surely the discipline of meticulous habit influenced his carpentry skills in the years to follow, for he was known to be a perfectionist.
Upon return to land he joined his father & older brother Lorraine, building summer cottages for a Lunenburg County holiday resort. This saw the beginning of his trade as a skilled carpenter’s foreman, earning his way to reputable wood working shops until retirement. A favourite childhood memory was the smell of wood chips that collected in the cuff of his pant legs.
In his youth, dad was known to masterfully handle a puck on the ice with hockey being a favourite pass time. As a means of mentally living the sport, he made every effort to attend Bridgewater hockey games with his son Lindy up to the age of 96.
Another joy in his life was regular attendance with mom at local jam sessions & variety shows. This offered him an outlet to participate in singing where his vocal abilities could have been acknowledged on stage had he not been lacking in the confidence to do so.
In his past he was involved with volunteer fire departments having co-founded the fire department in Black Point, NS in 1951. It was not long after this he found himself back to his roots where he became active in the Indian Point fire department. It was in Indian Point that all 9 children were subsequently raised.
Part of the reward for child raising was to visit his adult children in different locales. This took mom & dad across Canada from east to west, as well as to California.
As best we could, the family accommodated dad’s wishes to remain at home up to the 5 week stay at Fisherman’s Memorial Hospital including the Veterans Unit, where he passed away at the age of 96. The family is very grateful for the staff’s kind attention during this period of time.
You lived a full life papa. Now with the love of your nine children, we carry on varied aspects of your character: singing, travelling, hobby woodworking, professional carpentry, hockey fans, cooking, boating, fishing, sense of quick wit and yes, lots of meticulous habits.

We give a final salute to our perceived Mayor of Indian Point.
On 28 Jan 1950 Ronald Edward married Myrna Maude Russell (3501) , daughter of Maurice Foster Russell & 2502. Rhona Gwendolyn Wentzell, in Mahone Bay, Lunenburg Co., Nova Scotia, Canada. Born on 7 Dec 1928 in Milton, Queens Co., Nova Scotia, Canada.114 Myrna Maude died in Bridgewater, Lunenburg Co., Nova Scotia, Canada, on 9 Dec 2020; she was 92.114 Occupation: School Teacher, Cake Maker.
Mom would say she was the happiest with a baby in her arms so her children were pleased to extend her joy with 12 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren.
Second to the love of her children, our dear mother found great pleasure tending to her flower gardens. In her words, "One could never be closer to God than working in a garden". As a woman of faith, she maintained that we are never given more than we can handle. Being her gracious self, she upheld that belief throughout the difficult challenges of multiple surgeries in her later years.
One would think the mother of 9 had little time for community involvement, but your continued reading will have you see she was no ordinary person.
Perhaps her former profession as a one room school teacher contributed to her exceptional multi tasking & time management skills. Not only did she tend to other children in her home but she also found the energy to occasionally assist with Sunday school teaching.
Beyond child minding, her repertoire included administrative tasks. Volunteer hours were spent as president of the local church club, Secretary/Treasurer of the Ladies Auxiliary for the Volunteer Fire Department, and co-organizer of numerous fundraising events. Additionally, her writing ability allowed periodic news items to be published in the Bridgewater Bulletin.
On another front, Mom served in municipal, provincial and federal elections compiling voters’ lists, serving as returning officer and poll clerk. She also worked on the Census when called upon.
In her modest way, she did not care to have attention drawn to her, but as her family, we are proud to shed light upon her diverse accomplishments. For 22 years she was a self taught professional cake decorator. An untold number of elaborate sculptures in the form of all occasion and wedding cakes were created in Mom's kitchen. What's more, each year she took delight in making and decorating unique Easter and Halloween treats for her children, relatives and neighbours. Envision nine little lunch boxes lined up containing all the homemade bread, baked goodies, preserves and pickles she tirelessly made. Her accomplishments go on to include knitting and sewing. A few benefited from her hard working hands making their wedding dresses to boot. That lady could stretch a dollar. She was frugal beyond words. A splash of humour is added here to say she left instructions not to make her obituary too lengthy as it would cost more to print.
We would be remiss not to include the magic of Christmas she managed to engineer when we were younger. Not a sign of this festive day would appear until we arose early Christmas morning to a fully decorated tree with presents & bulging stockings for each and every one of us. Can you imagine the delight in a child's eye?
Countless stories could be told but suffice it to say, our mom was a special someone. Respectfully, we now turn you from the limelight dear mama. We will forever hold you close to our hearts and in our memories pay tribute to the generous, patient, kind, creative and loving soul you were. As a lasting legacy, may we carry forward but a sprinkling of your many glowing attributes, remembering your quote "We always have something in life to be thankful for".114
