Wanda Sue Gouldie, 91, of Austin, Texas passed away peacefully at home on October 9, 2021. She was a graduate of Incarnate Word Academy in Houston and attended the University of Texas at Austin. She was a stay-at-home mom until the last child started school and then she pursued a career at IRS in Austin. A loving mother known as Momma, Grandma, Big Grandma and “GiGi” to all, she was quick to hold each of her babies and her babies’ babies at every opportunity. Like her love of all the children, she was also an avid University of Texas fan and watched as many of the Longhorn games as she could. She had a smile for everyone she met. Wanda was predeceased by her husband, Charles Durham Gouldie, a granddaughter, one great-grandson and her beloved Macho Man. Wanda is survived by all of her eleven children: John, Kathleen “Kathy”, Robert “Bob”, Thomas “Sam”, William “ Billy”, Rosann “Rosie”, Louise ”Lulu”, Daniel “Dan”, George, Edward “Edd” and Suzanne “Soozie”. She is also survived by 29 grandchildren, 42 great-grandchildren, 2 great-great-grandchildren and all her “adopted” family.
The family will receive friends at a visitation at Weed-Corley-Fish Funeral Home, 3125 N. Lamar Blvd, Austin, Texas on Thursday, October 14 from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm with a rosary at 6:00 pm. A Mass of Resurrection will be held at St. Vincent De Paul Catholic Church Chapel at 9500 Neenah Ave, Austin, TX on Friday, October 15 at 10:00 am.
