Notes
GOYETCHE, Marie Clariesse- 86, Halifax. A loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully at the Halifax Infirmary, QEII Hospital, November 12, 2004, after suffering a stroke on her birthday, five days earlier. Born in Poulamon, NS, and baptized in D'Escousse, she was the daughter of Alvina Stone and James Etienne Fougere. She is survived, and will be greatly missed, by her four children, Faye MacAvoy, Glenn (Sharon Lawrence), Annette Allen (Lance), Denyse Bagnell (Peter). She adored and doted on her 10 grandchildren, Billy (Natasha Fletcher), Christopher (Kara Beckles) and Amy (Donald Gilkie) MacAvoy; Mark and Bradley Goyetche; Jill, Justin, and Jonathan Allen; and William and Ross Bagnell. She was able to meet her first great grandchild, Molly MacAvoy. She was predeceased by her husband Delore Joseph, and her siblings, William, Carl, Melvin, Bernice, Kathleen, Dorothy, Alvina, and Estelle. She had a wonderful laugh and was a friend and neighbor to all. In her youth, she enjoyed skating and movies. An avid bingo player, she also enjoyed playing cards, and was a Toronto Maple leafs fan, watching hockey on television regularly. A magnetic personality, who had a steady stream of visitors, she was a wonderful listener- always interested, but never judgmental. She was able to remain in her home, where she resided for 58 years, without assistance, until the time of her passing. Visitation will be held Sunday from 2-4 at Atlantic Funeral Home on Bayers Road, with the funeral service at her parish of St. Agnes Church on Monday, November 15 at 10 AM. Donations may be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation or the Canadian Diabetes Association.
