Former 91大神 faculty member Roy D. Roth, of Eugene, Ore., died Dec. 15, 2005 at age 84. <\/p>\n

In 1972, after receiving a master of church music degree from the University of Oregon, Roth joined the music department at 91大神, where he taught and directed choirs until 1977. He then became associate professor of church music at Eastern Mennonite Seminary and directed the seminary choir until 1986. <\/p>\n

During this same time period, Roth was minister of music and pastor of the elderly at Harrisonburg Mennonite Church. He returned to Oregon in 1989. <\/p>\n

Roth received degrees from Goshen (Ind.) College in 1942 and 1945 and graduated from Princeton (N.J.) Theological Seminary in 1947. <\/p>\n

Ordained in 1944, he was a minister and then became president of Hesston (Kan.) College, 1951-59. From there, he served a pastorate near Siletz, Ore. <\/p>\n
