Doucette, Mary Elizabeth October 28, 2025

Mary Elizabeth Doucette
December 28th, 1957 – October 28th, 2025

Our Bright & Colorful Angel Soars.

She took a deep breath and then folded into the sky as if folding a favorite dress, but her laugh stayed behind, a ribbon caught on the breeze.


Sunlight spilled like paint across the morning, and from the hush of loss rose a hum of color.


Bright wings unfurled where sorrow feared to tread— turquoise like the calm she offered, magenta for the songs she kept, gold for the little kindness moments she scattered like coins,


bright pink for the smiles she shared, and tropical lime green for every stubborn hope she believed in.


You will still find her in the bright seam of a cloud, in the bloom of late-summer flowers, in the way light tilts through the kitchen at noon. Grief is heavy, yes, but memory lights itself in a rainbow of vibrant feathers. You will feel her smile in those moments, and your face will light up. Weep not for loss but rather rejoice in what you gained in knowing her.


If you look up, there she is—an aurora of kindness, wings beating a steady, impossible lullaby, carrying the pieces of you both into a kinder sky,


where color remembers, and love remembers louder.



“If you want to die happy, learn to live. If you want to live happily, learn to die”.(Mary Doucette)



After living a very full life with no regrets and feeling ‘so blessed’ throughout this long walk home; Mary’s wishes were lovingly attended to, and she was able to die naturally and peacefully in her lovely home of Casa Maria in her own bed with her family by her side.


Daughter of the late Clovis and Helen Doucette

Adored Auntie to numerous nieces and nephews

And so many more that were not actually relatives



The family wish to extend our thanks to all who were so important and supportive to Mary these many years and most especially the last three years as she took her final walk home. To her ‘Dragon Mates’ and UofA Dental co-workers, her care team at the Cross Cancer Centre, her personal doctor Dr. King, and many others in the medical world in Edmonton.


In PEI, many came from far and wide to make a ‘pilgrimage’ to Casa Maria – the joy and love that this brought to Mary cannot be fully expressed in words. One entire family drove across Canada to come visit Auntie Mary and stay at Casa Maria!


Special thanks to Doctor Haymen and the emerge staff in Alberton, Also Dr. Blais as well as SammyJo and her Home Care team, her special personal nurse and beloved niece Susan. Mary’s experience with the medical system across Canada was beyond reproach and delivered with compassion and care at every step on the way.


The family wish to invite you to a grand cross-country and international celebration of our beloved Mary who was truly special and oh so unique in so many ways!

Now this wouldn’t be a real celebration of Mary unless she got to be a little bit ‘Bossy’.

So, her very specific instructions for what to wear are as follows:

“Absolutely no dark and depressing clothes. Please make sure everyone wears the
brightest colors - they don't need to worry about matching - lord knows I never did. And for godssake don't let anyone in wearing brown - if they do, I swear I'm coming back as a pigeon, and I will s--t on their head."



If you wish to donate in memory of Mary, the following were both dear to her heart and she was always supportive of the great work they do in helping those among us in need.

But most importantly – Mary left an amazing example in her dying – NOT in how to die, but how to LIVE. Love freely and express your feelings as often as you can and accept that same love from others – count every small joy that comes into your daily life, and you will find your blessings to be incalculable. Never miss an opportunity to be kind.


Live life where color remembers, and love remembers louder.

Gaudet, Mary "Diana" August 20, 2025

Diana Gaudet (Wedge) of St. Louis, PE, passed away peacefully in the company of loved ones on August 20, 2025 at Prince County Hospital, Summerside, PE.

Born in Miminegash, PE, Diana was the eldest child of Alyre and Freda Wedge (Butler). Diana was the loving wife of Robert Gaudet of St. Louis, PE, for 55 years. Mother of Stacy Lanois (Andre) of Brockville, ON and Jason Gaudet of Charlottetown, PE. Survived by siblings, Marie Perry (Leo), Patsy Shea (Francis), Shirley Boulet, Michael Wedge and Charles Wedge (Jay). Diana is also survived by her cherished Grand Children, Hannah Lanois and Nolan Lanois (Sydney). Also in mourning are in-laws, Charlie Gaudet (Gail), Elmer Gaudet (Laura), Dolores Gallant and Pauline Kingdon (Jim).

She will always be deeply missed by numerous nieces and nephews.

She was pre-deceased by her parents, Alyre and Freda Wedge and brother David Wedge. Diana was also pre-deceased by Parent-in-Laws, Belonie and Mary Ann Gaudet (Arsenault), sister-in-law Leona Perry, brother-in-law John Gallant and brother-in-law Leo Gaudet.

Diana was a loving wife to Robert and mother to Stacy and Jason. She adored her grandchildren and was proud to see them grow up to be wonderful adults. She was a quiet woman who did not care for attention. She went about her business without expecting anything for what she did. Her whole life was service to others while working in a nursing home, serving as a member of the Kinettes, Tignish Legion, Miminegash Firemenettes, a Eucharist minister at the Palmer Road church as well as a board member of the West Prince Funeral Coop.

Diana was a devout Catholic who practised her faith without doubt. She found good in everyone and would never say anything about anyone. She was one of a kind, a peaceful, gentle soul with a kind smile for everyone. To her siblings, she was more than a “big sister”, she was their best friend.

Diana could be found regularly reading on her E-Reader, solving puzzles, and especially solving the daily Cryptoquote. She was a great cook and enjoyed watching various cooking shows and the Hallmark Movie Channel.

She was smiling as she drew her last breath. That smile will always be remembered by those who loved her. She was quiet; but, her sense of humour would always catch you off guard. Diana never complained and felt that “life was worth living with whatever you’ve been dealt”. Her whole life was to serve others, with her career at Wellington House Nursing Home and numerous volunteer opportunities.

Resting at the West Prince Funeral Home. Visitation Sunday August 24, 2025 7-9 pm. Funeral Mass Monday, August 25, 2025 10:30 am., at Palmer Road Catholic Church. Reception to follow at the Palmer Road Community Centre.
