Maj. (Rtd) H. T. Monnan
1941-2021
The family is sad to announce the passing of Henry Terence
Monnon on Saturday, December 11, 2021, in Fredericton, NB. Born on
July 10, 1941 in Halifax, NS, he was the son of Henry Monnon from
Inverness, NS, and Margaret (nee Morriscey) Monnon from Halifax,
NS.
Being the son of a WWII pilot, Terry lived on various Air
Force bases in Canada during his young years. He left university in
search of, to him, a better life and joined the military. He had a
long and successful career serving for 37 years in the Armoured Corps
as a member of the Eight Canadian Hussars. Terry served on various
bases within Canada and had a tour in Germany. He also did tours in
Cyprus, Viet Nam and at the UN Headquarters in New York City. One of
his highlights was commanding a squadron of troops in an arctic
expedition.
Upon retirement, Terry and Camille travelled frequently in
their motor home, often with one or all grandchildren, visiting all
Canadian provinces and territories except for Nunavut. They also
travelled widely throughout the world.
Terry will be missed by his wife of 57 years, Camille (nee
Leger); one son, Christopher (Fanny Renault) Monnon, Biarritz, France;
one daughter, Michele (Edward) McCashion, Edmonton, AB; four much
loved grandchildren, Sarah (Nick Dawson) Monnon, Edmonton, AB, Sean
(Maythanya Khaikaew) McCashion, Edmonton, AB, Ryan (Melanie Roach)
McCashion, Fredericton, NB, and Evan McCashion, Edmonton, AB; one
sister, Heather (Andre) Allen, Ashland, Oregon; and several nieces and
nephews.
The family would like to thank the staff of the Veterans
Health Unit for the excellent care Terry received during his final
days.
Services for Terry will be held in Shediac, NB, at a later
time. For those who wish, donations in his memory can be made to the
Heart and Stroke Foundation.
