Pauline Gascon
GOYEAU
By Josée DUBOIS,
Wednesday,
January 26, 2005 - Page A18
Physician, wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt. Born September
19, 1932 in Cochrane, Ontario Died December 8, 2004, of cancer,
in Rogersville, Tennessee., aged 72.
Pauline grew up as the middle child in a family of five in Ottawa.
She was always the tallest person in her class when girls were
not supposed to be tall. She had to wear her aunt's hand-me-down
shoes that were too small since size 13 shoes were hard to find
in those days! She laughed when she recounted these stories,
for Pauline had a wicked sense of humour and loved to tell jokes.
However, what made her special is how she is remembered as a
selfless doctor, caregiver and confidante. Pauline was a trailblazer.
She was lucky to have been born into a family that valued education.
While her older sisters became teachers, Pauline studied to be
a laboratory technician. When she decided that she was as smart
as all those doctors she had worked for, she made up her mind
to go to medical school. She had saved up enough money and was
still living at home so she knew that she could do it. And she
did.
Pauline graduated from the University of Ottawa in 1961 and was
chosen as the class valedictorian. At medical school she met
the man who became her husband, Francis (Frank)
GOYEAU, a tall
handsome fellow student from Windsor. After graduating, Pauline
and Frank set off for St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Youngstown,
Ohio, to complete their internship. In those days the interns'
quarters were exclusively male so Pauline got to live in the
married students' quarters. Her mother was greatly relieved!
Pauline and Frank married in Youngstown in 1962 and I was their
flower girl. Shortly thereafter they moved to Columbus to begin
respective specializations, Pauline in pathology and Frank in
internal medicine.
Only a few months into their studies, they decided to devote
their abilities to the Medical Mission Sisters' 120-bed hospital
in Fort Portal, Uganda (as well as the surrounding jungle outposts)
for the next two years. Pauline's own special responsibilities
included pediatrics and the hospital laboratory. Her patients
named her Ab'ojo (Fine Lady). The arrival of her twins (Philippe
and François) was viewed by the community as a major event that
linked her to the local culture and to all twin-bearing families.
While in Uganda, Pauline also had a daughter (Dominique).
The family then settled in Windsor where Pauline worked primarily
as an operating-room scrub doctor, while raising her family that
grew to five with the births of Michelle and Melanie. In 1980,
the family moved to Rogersville, Tennessee., where she opened
one of the first Rural Health Homecare Clinics. The clinic's
success surprised even its harshest critics and its legacy has
endured as a credit to this gracious woman. Always seeking to
better herself, Pauline completed a master's degree in public
health while in her sixties and later concentrated on occupational
health in her husband's practice until she retired. The next
few years were spent travelling and enjoying her grandchildren.
We last saw Pauline at a family event in Ottawa last June. She
seemed happy and in good form. However, soon after returning
home, she began to feel poorly. In October, she was told that
she was in the final stages of lung cancer. Her health deteriorated
quickly but she faced the inevitable in the same way she had
faced other challenges in her life -- bravely and serenely.
She spent Thanksgiving with her children and grandchildren. Many
people came to visit: her sisters, family from Windsor and many
Friends. She seemed to have a resurgence of energy on some days
and even met her sister Rachel at the airport. It was during
Rachel's visit that she died peacefully in her sleep.
Josée DUBOIS is Pauline's niece.
