It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Lucie Magnin, who passed away peacefully at St. Paul’s Hospital in Saskatoon on May 1, 2025, at the age of 81. Lucie was a cherished wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and a valued member of her community. Lucie was born on March 7, 1944, in Mildred, Saskatchewan to Yvon and Marie Gaudet.

She is lovingly remembered by her devoted husband Real; her children Henry, Lorette, and Paulette (Marvin) Harrison; and her grandchildren Steven (Heather) Magnin, Charles (Celeste) Harrison, and Travis (Alyssha) Harrison. Lucie also leaves behind three great-grandchildren and many beloved sisters: Cécile (Jerry) Mathieu, Thérèse (Raymond) Mathieu, Madeleine (Ronald) Tessier, Blanche Lussier, Florence (Brian) Johnson, and her brothers Laurent (Armande) Gaudet, Cyrille (Paulette) Gaudet, Alexis (Jeannette) Gaudet, and Daniel (Carol) Gaudet: her sisters-in-law Elise Gaudet and Jean D’Arc Gaudet.
She is fondly remembered by numerous nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends.

She was predeceased by her beloved son Gilles Magnin, her parents Yvon and Marie Gaudet, and her brothers Arthur Gaudet, Émile Gaudet, Nicholas Gaudet; and brother-in-law Lionel Lussier.

Lucie lived a full and meaningful life. She found joy in her years on the family farm and took great pride in her handiwork—especially embroidery, quilting, and gardening. She also worked for several years at the St. Louis care home, offering compassion and care to others. A devoted member of the Catholic Women’s League, Lucie served as both president and member, contributing tirelessly to church and community events. She also enjoyed participating in the senior bowling league and cherished the time spent hosting family gatherings and celebrating life with extended family and close friends.

God’s Garden” by Melissa Shreve
God looked around his garden and found an empty place
He then looked down upon the Earth and saw your tired face
He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest
With the help of his angels they flew you to your heavenly place
Gods garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best
He knew you were suffering, he knew you were in pain
He knew that you would never get well on Earth again

He saw the road was getting rough and the hills too hard to climb
He closed your weary eyelids and whispered “Peace be Thine”
It broke our hearts to lose you but you didn’t go alone
For part of us went with you the day God called you home.
