René Joseph Goudal

Rene was born on November 20, 1937, passed away on January 25, 2021 at Abbotsford BC.

He was raised and lived most of his life in Shellbrook, Saskatchewan. He is survived by his wife Betty of 61 years, his children Cy and Jackie, Darcy (Wendy) and his grandchildren Ryan, Renae (Travis) and their children Tatum and Evander.

Left to mourn their loss are his siblings, Norma Dahl, Marie and Ed Lachner, Brenda and Earl Larson and Gord Goudal, Irene and Ron Bushell, Vi Martin, Lily Smith and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.

René was predeceased by his parents Ellenora and Ernie Goudal, his sisters Elaine Kerr and Carol Reutlinger and his brother’s in-law Edwin Weiss, Dennis Dahl, Douglas Smith, Jack Kerr and Richard Martin.

René is fondly remembered by his friends and the many community organizations he was a part of:  The Shellbrook Elks, Kinsmen, Golf Club, Curling Club and Waskesiu Golf Club.

René loved to golf and curl and enjoy his Waskesiu time for close to 35 years.  He enjoyed going for a boat ride and having a wiener roast or fish fry around the campfire or having a party of friends on the deck at the cabin.  He and Betty retired from R&B Foods in 2003 to spend their winters in Hemet Ca. René could not just sit around so he started working part-time at the Waskesiu Golf Course where he was Marshall and Starter for 11 years.  In 2014, René and Betty moved to Abbotsford BC.

A memorial service and interment will be held in Shellbrook at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in René’s name to the Town of Shellbrook – Recreation Centre or Golf Course.
