Doreen Mable Goodine
1940-2020
It is with great sadness the family of Doreen Goodine, loving
wife of Ronald Goodine for almost 60 years, announce the sudden
passing which occurred on August 3, 2020 at the Charlotte County
Hospital. Born in Hopewell Cape on January 4, 1940, she was
the daughter of the late Roy and Annie (Roberts)Tower.
Besides her husband Ron, she is survived by her sons Steven
Goodine (Beth Ward), Michael Goodine (Yolande), daughters Sandra
Hollingdale (Mike) and Jennifer Wright (Derrick). Also by
grandchildren Trudy, Judy, Sam, Grace, Shannon, Kate, Tom, Melissa and
Ben, and by great-grandchildren, Taylor, Cash, Walker, Mason, Layla
and Lincoln. Her surviving siblings include Donna Crowell
(Richard), Charles Tower (Sandra), Catherine Armstrong (William),
Georgina LeBlanc, Marion Boulton (Richard), Winnifred Beaumont, and
David Tower (Tracy). As well as sister-in- laws Phyllis
Mitton, Barbara Rowan and Loretta Washburn, and many nieces and
nephews.
Doreen was pre-deceased by her brother Leroy Tower and sister
Ruth Wright, great granddaughter Sophi Ella, brother-in-laws Dr.
Raymond Goodine, Jack Ryan, Earl Mitton, William Rowan, LeRoy Washburn
and Don Beaumont, as well as sister-in-laws Thelma Monahan and Doris
Ryan.
After graduating from Moncton High School, Doreen went on to
Teacher’s College in Fredericton where she met the love of
her life, Ron. They moved to St. Stephen where she had a fulfilling 33
year career in teaching, primarily with special needs students whom
she cared for as if they were her own. The joys of her life
were her four children and even more so her grandchildren and great
grandchildren who she loved dearly. Doreen was a charter
member of the St. Stephen Milltown Lionettes Club, a member of the
Chocolate Fest Committee, and was passionate about the Relay for Life,
in particular the organization of the Survivor’s
dinner. Other activities include the annual Kidney
Foundation Campaign and a member of the local Retired Teachers
Association.
The family would like to thank the medical staff and nurses
from the Charlotte County Hospital as well as the Home Support team
.
Visitation will be held at Mehan’s Funeral Home (23
Main St., St. Stephen) on Friday, August 7th from 6-8pm.
Please note that face masks must be worn in the funeral home for the
visitation. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in
Doreen’s memory to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, Canadian
Cancer Society or charity of one’s choice.
