Rachel Goulet
Oct 27, 1921 – May 16, 2020
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing
of Rachel Goulet (nee Primeau) at the age of 98 years.
Rachel was born in Montreal and lived most of her life in Quebec,
Ohio and Florida, before coming to Banff in 2000 to live closer to
her three sons and their families.
Rachel integrated well into her new life in Banff; volunteering with
the Banff Seniors Society, at the Community Lunch Program, at
St. Martha’s, with the Ladies Hospital Auxiliary, generously donating
her beautiful handmade baby sweaters to fundraising causes, and making wonderful new friends. She was honoured locally (SHINE
award recipient) and provincially (Minister’s Senior Service Award)
for her outstanding volunteer efforts. Rachel will be missed by
so many of all ages.
Rachel was predeceased by her husband Roy in 1998, and is survived by her sons Roy (Rebecca), Gerry (Anne) and Mike (Patrice), grandchildren Jennifer (Manousos), Kelly (Mark), Dominique (Remi), Marty (Lindsey), Danielle, Andrew, Jasmine (Mac) and Stephane, as well as her much loved great grandchildren, Emily, Olivia, Sophie, Sage, Olive, Hazel, Jasper, Isidor and Vivian.
The family thanks the caring staff at Cascade House and the Banff Health Unit for their loving support over the last years.
A private family service will take place at a later date.

Death notice for the town of: Banff, Province: Alberta
Dear Roy, Gerry and Michael, I was so sorry to learn of your mom’s passing. There is not a time I drive by Centre Commercial in Roxboro and don’t think of Roxboro Hardware. My first real summer job was there, in 1965. Your parents treated me like their 4th son. That job helped pay for my college tuition. I loved working for them. Among my favourite memories is a night out after work at the Pot au Feu and a fun time at Belmont Park. I’m so happy to see that you are all together in beautiful B.C. I am so sorry for your loss
