| Release Date: 06/14/2005 |
WILLIAMSBURG—Harold Mauney, former pastor of First Baptist Church of Williamsburg, died June 1. He was 67.
Mauney, who retired in 2000 after 18 years as pastor of First Baptist, Williamsburg, had served since 2000 as part-time associate pastor of First Baptist Church of London. He previously was pastor of First Baptist Church of Taylorsville; Lonsdale Baptist Church of Knoxville, Tenn.; Pigeon Fork Baptist Church of Waddy; and Calvary Baptist Church of Corbin.
“Harold was a wonderful friend to me as a colleague in ministry,” said Terry Lester, pastor of First Baptist, London. He described Mauney as “a real people person, a great scholar and a very thoughtful Christian who was deeply committed to the great foundational Baptist principles.”
Citing Mauney’s battle with cancer, Lester added, “In his dying days, he prayed our invocation every Sunday morning and really prayed out his life before us—his fears, doubts, hopes and faith. His prayers were beautiful expressions of who he was and who God was for him in his dying days.”
A former vice president of the Kentucky Baptist Convention, Mauney also had served as a member of the KBC Mission Board, trustee of Campbellsville University and board member of Baptist Healthcare System. He was a graduate of Georgetown College and Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville.
Mauney is survived by his wife, Donna; daughter, Beth Ann Williams; and two granddaughters.
Memorial gifts may be made to First Baptist, Williamsburg, or to the building fund of First Baptist, London.
