Marie Goulet

Marie Ann Goulet, Noodinikwe - July 22 1960 – February 25, 2025 Daughter, sister, teacher, friend, “Auntie Moo” Born to Tom Goulet and Lorraine Goulet of Chelan Washington and of the White Earth Band of Ojibwe, Minnesota. Survived by her mom, older sister Karen (and her son Kane), younger sister Elizabeth, extended family, soul sisters Robin Robertson and Sue Mayer, and other loving friends. Marie drew from her family a strong sense of right and wrong and always worked to do the right thing without being judgmental of others. Her achievement of being one of the first women to receive her degree in construction management was inspired by her love for family and commitment to work with her father in his business. She would later return to college for a bachelors and master's in education. Her gift to the world was through teaching math and art in public schools over 20 years – “Miss G” encouraged curiosity from her students, creativity in learning, and love of animals. What other teacher do you know played music from the “band of the week”? Music of all genres was a joy and an inspiration for Marie. Her sometimes sophisticated, often sophomoric humor always lightened the day and drew a laugh (or a groan). Her passions were to telemark ski and race, take a swim in the lake, create art through paint and ceramics, pursue art to see great works in person in the USA and Europe, enjoy her bountiful garden, take her dogs for an adventure, road trip with family and friends, eat a burrito at Mi Pueblo and to hangout with good friends and family. Moo cared deeply and took joy in the simple pleasures of life like a steaming cup of coffee in the morning, the beautiful view from her garden, feeding the birds, baseball, and playing a spirited game of cribbage. Marie was the best, most loyal friend and family member anyone could ever want. After her dad passed, she created a life in order to stay by her mom’s side. She was the glue that held family together and made sure that we were taking care of each other. Be it family, friend, cat or dog, she was a caring assurance that you weren’t alone in the tough times and that there is joy in the journey to good times. Marie always knew when to show up. If something needed to be done, Marie was by your side to do it even if it was a goofball project. Marie had a heart of gold and was a rare true and good human who made the world a better place. We love you from the dust motes filtering in the early morning light to the depths of the universe and beyond. May she rest in peace. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Okandogs Animal Rescue Service, the animal rescue organization of your choice, or cancer support organizations. Arrangements by Chapel of the Valley, East Wenatchee. There will be a Celebration of Marie's life on the Saturday, September 6, 2025, time to be determined in Chelan, WA, when Marie's garden potatoes are ready to harvest. Everyone will get their fill of homemade potato salad.
