Ronald Soulsman Obituary
He was born in Baltimore, MD on February15, 1943. He was preceded in death by his parents, Albert Fairbank Soulsman and the late Maye Spurry Soulsman, of St. Michaels, MD. He is survived by his wife Nancy Wolff Soulsman, children, Brad Soulsman (Pam), Becky Lynch (Doug), grandchildren, Madison Soulsman, Brooke Lynch Morris, Morgan Soulsman, Adam Lynch, and a brother Dudley Soulsman (Renee).
Rev. Soulsman was raised in St. Michaels but proudly left to serve his country in the U.S. Navy from 1961-1967. He was on crew of the North Atlantic Sub Hunter Patrol Squadron 44.
Rev. Soulsman was an Ordained Bishop in the Church of God, Cleveland, TN. He served for many years on various boards and committees for the DelMarVa DC Church of God. Special to his heart were the years he served on the Ministerial Training Board, training new ministers for service to Christ.
He founded the Berlin-Ocean City (Lighthouse) Church of God in 1984 where he also served as the Administrator of the Eastern Shore Christian Academy for many years. He served the community as a Police and Hospital Chaplain and also gave leadership to the Berlin Ministerial Association for many years. Pastor Ron retired from full time pastoring in 2012, after serving as Senior Pastor at Lighthouse for 28+ years.
Pastor Ron was an avid bird watcher, and he LOVED hunting white tail and mule deer, elk and waterfowl. He especially loved hunting with his son, Brad, and grandson Adam. Also high on his list of favorite pastimes was camping - locally and also around the country.
Funeral services in celebration of his life will be held on Saturday, February 8th at 2:00pm at the Coastal Community Church, 10900 Ocean Gateway, Berlin, MD. A visitation will be held at the Burbage Funeral Home Friday, February 7th from 6-8:00pm. Interment will be at the convenience of the family. Pastor Theo Hobbs will officiate.
