Marcella Ann Goudreau
It is with profound sadness that our family announces the passing of Marcella Ann Goudreau, our beloved wife, mom and grandmother, on December 12, 2025, in Edmonton.
She is lovingly remembered by her husband of 53 years, Paul, daughter Colette, son Bernard (Jennifer), grandchildren Jacob and Hailey, brother Ron (Lhiza) and many family members and friends.
Marcy was pre-deceased by her parents Helen and Ken Cooknell.
Marcy was born in St. Paul, AB on April 16, 1950. She grew up in the area and eventually got her teaching degree from the University of Alberta. She began teaching in northern Alberta but spent the bulk of her career with the Black-Gold School Division at École Bellevue School in Beaumont. Marcy was a cherished teacher and colleague with a love for math and a genuine
spirit of collaboration.
Marcy loved crafts and travelling, but nothing compared to her love for her grandkids. She was the proudest grandparent, attending all their school events, gymnastics competitions and hockey games. If she couldn’t be there in person, she followed online, cheering on from afar.
Her big smile and infectious laugh will be missed by all.
The family extends much thanks to the caring staff at the University of Alberta Hospital and the Grey Nuns Palliative Unit.

We will remember her warmth and friendliness and miss her creative touches that embellished our lobby during the pandemic.
I still look out for Marcie and Paul, out on their daily walks.

Dear Paul and family,
We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Marcella. A great loss for the entire family. We will have many memories of time spent with her – on the farm, at the lake and even the time John and I met you and Marcella on the island of Hawaii. A lovely person with a beautiful and she will certainly be missed. Thinking of you at this very sad time.
Love Bev and John
We are so sad to hear of Marcellas passing.
Our thoughts are with all the family.
I will always remember my happy, caring cousin and all our fun times when visiting the farm from BC.
Taken far too soon.
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Marcy was always up for a bit of fun and I always enjoyed working with her. She always tried to help out whenever and with whatever she could. She loved life and her family, especially her grandchildren. She left us far too soon but it was a life well lived.
Thinking of you all at this sad time,
Lynn Bonnah and Harry Vink
Our thoughts and prayers are with you Paul and the family. Our sincere condolences. 💐
