GOLDIE MARGARET BEAUDRY (CSUZDI) Goldie, gently passed away, May 17, 2005, surrounded by her loving family. Born Aranyka (pronounced Aranka) Csuzdi, in Woodridge, MB to David Csuzdi and Juliana Szantos, immigrants from Hungary, she was named Goldie by her godparents. Aranka was always proud of her Hungarian descent. Goldie loved the outdoors and spent most of her life amidst the jack pines in Woodridge and in Vassar where she married Justin Beaudry and spent many happy years working in the general store and as postmaster in the Vassar Post Office. After her elementary schooling in Woodridge, Goldie went to the Grey Nun's Convent in Ste. Anne to complete her high school. During this time she contracted polio leaving her gently fragile. She then went on to Saint-Joseph's Academy in Saint-Boniface as she attended Normal School. Teaching, piano playing, picking blueberries and caring for her three boys were certainly the highlights of her life. She was known for her cooking, especially her tourtiere and fudge and, her homemade cards for every occasion, hand-drawn with personal commentary to the recipient reminding all that people were important to her. Goldie was predeceased by her daughter Claire and husband Justin, her siblings, Steve and wife Rita, Mary and husband Conrad, Paul, Julia and husband Ed as well as her two older brothers who remained in Hungary. She was loved by her sons, Bernard (Shari), Marc (Gisele) and Bertrand (Lisa), her grandchildren, Joshua, Justin-Ross, Jacob (Bernard); Christian, Sylvie, Nicole, Monique, Jean-Michel (Marc); Michelle, Daniel and Renee (Bertrand) as well as her great-grandchildren, Emilie, Veronic, Manu and Felix. A service celebrating Goldie's life was held at Desjardins Funeral Home on May 20. Her remains were cremated and will be placed in the Vassar Catholic Cemetery at a future date. We will miss you... The family wishes to express their appreciation to the staff of Foyer Valade for the care offered to Goldie during her stay at the residence. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to one of her two favourite charities, Foster Parents Plan, 1001-95 St. Clair Ave. W, Toronto, ON M4V 3B5 or the Salvation Army. GOLDIE MARGARET BEAUDRY (CSUZDI) Goldie a rendu l'ame le 17 mai 2005, entouree par sa famille. Aranyka (prononcee Aranka) Csuzdi est nee a Woodridge au Manitoba de David Csuzdi et de Juliana Szantos, immigres de la Hongrie. Ses parrains la nommerent Goldie mais Aranka demeura toujours tres fiere de son heritage hongrois. Goldie aimait profondement le grand air de la campagne et elle passa la plus grande partie de sa vie dans les epinettes de Woodridge et de Vassar. Elle epousa Justin Beaudry et pendant de nombreuses annees travailla avec lui dans leur magasin general ainsi que le bureau de poste. Goldie fit ses etudes elementaires a Woodridge et ensuite se rendit au couvent des Soeurs Grises a Sainte-Anne pour completer ses etudes secondaires. C'est alors qu'elle fut affligee par le polio. Elle sejourna ensuite a l'Academie Saint-Joseph a Saint-Boniface alors qu'elle completait son ecole normale. L'enseignement, le piano, la cueillette de bleuets et le soin accorde a ses trois garcons ont aggremente en grande partie sa vie. Elle etait bonne cuisiniere si on en juge par ses tourtieres et son sucre a la creme. Elle se plaisait a dessiner elle-meme les cartes de souhaits qu'elle faisait parvenir aux amis et a la parente pour marquer les occasions speciales. C'etait sa facon de communiquer aux gens a quel point elle les aimait. Elle sera manquee par ses fils, Bernard (Shari), Marc (Gisele) et Bertrand (Lisa); ses petits-enfants, Joshua, Justin-Ross, Jacob (Bernard); Christian, Sylvie, Nicole, Monique, Jean-Michel (Marc); Michelle, Danielle et Renee (Bertrand) ainsi que ses arriere petits-enfants Emilie, Veronic, Manu et Felix.
