Madeleine Aimee Bourgouin, Wife of Peter Reimer

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Madeleine Aimee Bourgouin of MSA. She was born and raised in Winnipeg to Madeline Mooney and Dr. Jean Bourgouin. 

Madeleine went to school in St. Boniface and then to St. Paul’s College. She then went to Toronto to get her teacher’s certificate. She taught French for 35 years and retired from teaching in Richmond, BC.

Madeleine was happily married to Peter Reimer. They lived in Kerrisdale for the last 43 years. She was a wonderful, loyal friend to many and will be remembered by those who knew her. 

Madeleine will be remembered for her wit, her interest in other people, and her ability to genuinely connect with everyone she met. 

She leaves to mourn her husband, Peter Reimer, her brother, Dr. Paul Bourgouin, and her sister, Jeanne Taylor. 

Evening Prayers on Thursday, January 30, 2025, at 6:00pm, and Mass on Friday, January 31, 2025, at 11:00am, will be held in honour of Madeleine’s life, at St. John the Apostle Parish (5457 Trafalgar St., Vancouver, BC), with Burial at St. Boniface Cathedral Cemetery, in Winnipeg, MB, at a later date.
