Luigia Goegan

Our beloved mother and an absolute angel on earth, passed away peacefully on Saturday, January 31st, 2026 at the age of 89 years. Luigia was the devoted wife of the late Aldo Goegan. Loving mother of John Goegan, Carla Goegan, the late Cathy Goegan, Carol Burnham (Dan), and Aldo Goegan Jr (Martin). Proud Nonna to her six grandchildren: Nicole Pestill, Alicia Robinson (Michael), Amanda Goegan, the late Eric Goegan, Ryan Burnham and Laura Burnham. Cherished great-grandmother to Sadie, Jack and Winston. Dear sister-in-law and best friend to Veronica Campagnolo. Treasured Zia to her nieces and nephews, both here in Canada and in Italy. Pre-deceased by her siblings, Antonietta, Valentino, Giuseppe, Rosina, Natale, Eraldo, Rodolfo, Arturo. Survived by her sister-in-law in Italy, Antonietta.

Luigia immigrated to Canada in 1958 to marry the love of her life and start a family. After raising five children, while continuing to work as a skilled seamstress, she began an exciting chapter selling World Book Encyclopedia, winning multiple awards as a result of her success.

Luigia lived as a blessing and an inspiration to all of us. She radiated kindness, grace and selfless love, always putting the needs of others before her own. She was the heart of our home and family. Life won’t be the same without you Mamma. We love you, always and forever.
