Melroy Maughan

Melroy Darley Maughan passed away Sept. 17, 2015. Melroy was born May 1, 1954, to Robert Nielsen Maughan and Vonda Darley Maughan. As a child he spent most of his time outdoors working and playing.

Mel worked as a maintenance man, machinist and electrician for several companies in Cache Valley, with most of the years being at Tri Miller Packing Company. He became disabled due to a massive stroke Sept. 12, 2005.

He is survived by his wife, Gwynn Maughan, of Hyrum, his son Neal (Melanie) Maughan, Hyrum, his daughters Brandy (Mike) Anderson, Nibley, and Heather Maughan (Andrew Wiseman) of Mildmay, Ontario; five grandchildren, Vonda Michelle and Mason of Nibley, and Brooke, Hailey and Robert of Hyrum.
