Ronald (Ron) Marwood, who worked in International Banking and Treasury for Chase between 1975 and 1992, died on March 1, 2026. He was 79 and had lived in Remsenberg, NY.

 

Born in Canonsburg, PA, he was President of his senior class at Chartiers Valley High School, where he met Jennifer Jones, an exchange student from England, who would later become his wife.

 

Marwood received a BS in Economics from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in 1968. He was drafted into the U.S. Army after college and entered Infantry Officer Candidate School, graduating at the top of his class. Given the option to serve in any branch of the Army, he chose Army Intelligence and attended German language school.

 

After his Army service, Marwood used the GI Bill to fund a master’s degree at the London School of Economics. He moved to New York City in 1975, where he began his financial career at Chase Manhattan Bank.

 

Marwood spent several years as a bank officer, first in International Banking and later in the Treasury Department. After retiring from the bank in 1992, he began a second career teaching economics courses as an adjunct professor at Suffolk County Community College on Long Island, NY.

 

In retirement, he enjoyed sailing, playing tennis, traveling to Mexico each winter and playing poker with friends. Marwood served as a member of the Vestry at St. Mark’s Church in Westhampton Beach. He also enjoyed many summer days at Quantuck Beach Club and served as Commodore of the Westhampton Yacht Squadron from 2002 to 2004.

 

His survivors include his wife, two daughters and two granddaughters.
