Ronald Nolin

Known to all as Ronnie, he was the son of the late Henry and Jeanne (Cloutier) Nolin. He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Anne (Mailloux) of Acushnet. He is also survived by his three sons and their families Mark and Maura Nolin of Maryland, Matthew and Teresa Nolin of Pennsylvania and Christian and Sabrina Nolin of Beverly, MA as well as a sister, Claire (Nolin) Marotte and her husband, Dennis, of Florida. He was ‘Pepere’ to nine grandchildren ranging in age from 30 to 18 whom he loved dearly and ‘Uncle Ronnie’ to several nieces and nephews and extended family.

Ronnie was born and raised in New Bedford and later moved to Acushnet where he lived in the same home for nearly 60 years. He graduated from Stonehill College and received his master’s degree from Boston College. He was an educator and administrator in the New Bedford Public Schools for over 35 years, first teaching French and Latin and later as Chair of the Foreign Language Department at New Bedford High School.

He was a deeply religious man and an active parishioner at St. Anthony of Padua Parish in New Bedford in his youth, where he also attended school through high school, and later at St. Francis Xavier Church in Acushnet where he attended daily mass and was a Lector and Eucharistic Minister.

He loved to travel often driving long distances to discover unique, historical and picturesque destinations. He will be remembered for his friendly sense of humor, usually kidding all he came into contact with, and his love of people.
