GOUDIE (Caines), "ean Sarah

October 28, 1942 – January 21, 2023

Passed away suddenly at the Health Sciences Centre, Jean Goudie, aged 80 years. Predeceased by her husband, Herb, a little over six months ago. Also predeceased by her sister, Hope; and her parents, Robert and Dorothy Caines. Leaving to mourn is her daughter, Dawn Power and her grandson, Griffin. Also leaving to mourn are her six stepchildren and their families: Ken (Marion), Lee (Linda), Ian, Scott (Annette), Steve (Anne), and Nina. Special mention to her cousin, Anne Phelan-may, who she loved like a sister. Mom was a “townie” who grew up in the East end of St, John’s beginning on Cavell Avenue, moving to York Street, and then Duckworth Street where her family owned and operated Robert Caines Grocery for many years. Mom was also a proud graduate of Bishop Spencer College and was delighted to keep in touch with her classmates on a regular basis. Mom loved the Evening Telegram’s Jumble and Crossword puzzle and took pride in completing them regularly. She was also a true animal lover and was the concierge of many cats, dogs, and budgies throughout her lifetime. There was nothing better to Mom than watching all the different types of birds that visited her bird feeders daily. Many thanks to her kind neighbours on Park Avenue in Mount Pearl for the past 50 years who looked out for Mom, especially during the last few months. Thanks as well to the staff at Littledale where Mom spent the last four days of her life for their kind and attentive care. Finally, a heartfelt and special thanks to Nina and Anne Porter for being the “boots on the ground” and for their loving support and compassion shown to Mom, especially in her final hours. Resting at Carnell’s Funeral Home, 329 Freshwater Road, St. John’s.
