Gerald (Jerry) Goodfellow

On January 6, 2026 following a brief illness, Jerry Goodfellow, age 80, passed away peacefully, surrounded by the love of family and friends. He leaves to mourn his best friend and partner in crime, Anna Johnson, stepdaughter Shyan, honorary granddaughter Elizabeth and his fur baby Puppy. He is also survived by his sisters Peggy Westwood, Sharon Routley and Cathy Wright, brothers Robert and Doug Goodfellow and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. He was predeceased by his parents, Gordon, and Ruth (Wood) Goodfellow and brothers James and Donald.

Jerry was born in Edmonton and in his early years lived in Calgary, Penhold, Montreal and Cozy Nook Sakatchewan. Growing up, Jerry enthusiastically embraced farm life and the 4-H community. He went on to earn his degree in Agriculture from the University of Saskatchewan then owned and operated a large and successful cattle farm. He was also very involved in sports and refereed hockey in Saskatchewan for Many years.

In the 1990’s Jerry moved to Manitoba and pursued a career in trucking and driver training. Eventually, he retired near Pine Falls where he remained active in the community. He served on the executive of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 64 for many years and was a driver for the Interlake Regional Health Authority Handivan.

Jerry had many interests and was seldom idle. He became quite skilled in the art of wine making, enjoyed woodworking -- making everything from lawn furniture to wooden spoons -- and in the summers his flowers and vegetable gardens were his pride and joy and were the envy of many. He will be greatly missed.

The family would like to express sincere thanks to friends and loved ones who offered support at this very heartbreaking time.

A celebration of life will be held at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 64 in Pine Falls on Saturday, January 17, 2026, at 3pm.
