Marie Gaulin Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Jul. 12 to Jul. 13, 2014.
Marie Lise May Gaulin, 82, of Annapolis and Punta Gorda, FL died Friday July 11, in Saylorsburg, PA. Born: May was born in Ste. Honore, Quebec, Canada. She graduated from nursing school at Laval University in Montreal. It was there that she met her beloved, J. Claude Gaulin and with him began her vocation her family. Her 50 year journey with Claude took her to NY, Oklahoma and finally to Easton, Pennsylvania and Punta Gorda, FL where lightness was always in her heart. It is in Easton where she laid her husband and her son, Robert, to rest, and it is there that she too transitioned. Home. Personal: May "took care of the world", as one of her oldest friends said. She spent her time loving and caring for her family and giving to many others in need. Listing all of the organizations she gave of her self to are too numerous to mention for she gave everywhere and anywhere and anytime. She was loved by many and will be missed by all. Most important in May's life was her faith and love of God. Her devout Catholicism began at an early age with the Sisters in St Honore and continued strongly until her death, where she was found holding her rosary. And then, there was mahjong! She loved the game, the company of "the girls" and of course, when she won a quarter. Survivors: May is survived by her sister Edna Meagher, her brothers Lewis and Martin Ryan all of Quebec; her sons Mark of Severna Park, MD and Mike of Crownsville, MD and her daughter Gigi of Pilot, VA; her grandchildren Matt, Andrew, Meghan and Joseph. And her many friends and other relatives. Services: A Memorial Mass will be celebrated on Tuesday at 10:30 AM at St. Jane Frances de Chantal Catholic Church, 4049 Hartley Avenue in Palmer Twp., PA. Calling hours will be held on Monday evening at the Finegan Funeral Home, 4080 William Penn Highway in Palmer from 6-8 PM. Memorials: In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Children's Home of Easton, 2000 S. 25 Street, Easton, PA 18042 or www.thechildrenshome.org. Fineganfh.com.

We just today learned of May's passing. In the short time that we lived above her at Brynwood, she became a valued and special friend. She was a special person. Our deepest sympathy to the family.

Dear Marc, Gigi and Mike,
I would like to share a souvenir with you.
I was 17 years old and I had decided to go to learn English in an american family. Then I had contacted ma tante May that finds me a place to babysit. Of course, it was necessary for her that people among whom I would work would be nice and good and it has been exactly what happened. Before going to Paul & Ronnie's home to start my new live…, I stayed a few days with my aunt May at Easton and in spite of its occupations, she took the time to bring me to ski with her. I still see her in a car, riding, smiling, listening and speaking to me with all her kindness. It is a memory which often comes to my mind. She really was a good person. I am happy that she has been my aunt. I have also a lot of souvenirs of you all when you used to come to visit us. It was always a very good happening.

Dear aunt living in USA
For all of us, aunt May, was the one sister's Ryan who quit Quebec for a loving story.
In Easton, she was living in a castle with her children and husband....wonderful life..?
Well...
She cares for each of us like she had nothing else to do. So?
In our memory, aunt May was the one with the great ear. We could talk to her and strangely, we were feeling like king and keen because she took this time to listen at us... children, to look at us with this special blue eyes gived by her own moter, named, Reine
She gaved to us the feeling to be important..
What a good gift.
Thank you aunt May
Gigi, Marc, Mike...
You are important
For all of us
Your cousins from Quebec

Dear Mark, Mike and Gigi,
There are no words to express our heartfelt sympathy we have for the loss of your mother, this incredible woman and friend of our whole family. She was such a very special and dear companion for my parents, in Punta Gorda. We will miss her so much. My son Drew loved your mother's crepes, and she would make them for him every year when we visited my parents. Our hearts are very heavy, but at peace knowing she is at rest with her beloved Claude and her son.
With sympathy,
Anita (Virgilio), Bill and Drew Wemple

Dear Gigi, Marc, and Michael. How saddened I was to receive the news of your Mother's passing - a wonderful friend to the Biedlingmaier family, and my formidable competition at many auctions on College Hill year ago. In later years, we had many pleasant bridge games together, and, the opportunity to renew ties in the Easton area. She was a wonderful inspiration of family, Faith, and commitment. You may all be proud of her volunteerism and contributions to making this Life more pleasant for all. Sincerest condolences and prayers for her repose. Mark B.

I met Gigi's mom on several of her visits to Floyd. I remember her as being a lovely person with a great sense of humor and being very generous.

Soft spoken and deliberate with a loving heart. I know she will be missed by her family and all those that loved her. I am glad I got to meet her.

What a wonderful tribute to a truly compassionate woman, mother, wife, sister, friend, aunt, grandma..
Met her once when Gigi and I had dinner with her. She was a gracious person.
My prayer for all of you is strength and wisdom of spirit to let her love and the love of God touch you all. Her generous spirit will live on in her loved ones.
